Ben-Veniste: ...to use President Reagan's admonition in dealing with the Russians-"trust but verify."
Matthews: Treat this administration that way?
Ben-Veniste: I'm sorry to say that's the case and it's a sad state of affairs. On important, critical matters-ahh the President is now been show not to be accurate and now hypocritical in terms of this leak investigation-the political fallout is huge in my view.
Bush finally got the Reagan comparison he and his followers have been looking for.
