Nolo contendere?

As one would expect, the Kerry campaign has seized on today’s revelation of the Bush administration’s latest lethal blunder in Iraq and pressed the point on the campaign trail.

And the Bush administration’s response?

Kerry’s lying?

It’s not true?

There’s an explanation?

Apparently, on the merits, there’s no response at all.

Bush spokesman Steve Schmidt issued the campaign’s response: “John Kerry has no vision for fighting and winning the War on Terror, so he is basing his attacks on the headlines he wakes up to each day.”
