ABC News' Senior Political Reporter Rick Klein on the weekly political roundup.

ABC's Sam Donaldson considers the best way to characterize the Dem race.

Vice President Dick Cheney recently responded to questions about the American public's disapproval of the Iraq war with a blunt "So?" "So?" Are you serious? Is this really how the US government responds to the views of the vast majority of the population? Come on now, Dick. Government gets its mandate from the will of the people. Its response should never be a derisive "So?"

When the blogger and prostitute Debauchette was interviewed by Diane Sawyer for an ABC News report, several tricks were used to conceal her identity. She appeared mainly in silhouette, with a distorted profile and a distorted voice. She was identified only as a "beautiful," "highly educated" woman with a day job in the arts. The tricks were not enough, however, to keep Debauchette's parents from figuring out it was their daughter on the screen when they tuned in, as fate would have it, to watch the show. Mom saw Sawyer's report twice, to make sure her instincts had been correct, then fired off an email to her daughter, quoted in a Debauchette blog post: A few sentence fragments from her note: “I have to say that it wasn’t a complete surprise…“ “But I was in a state of denial…“ “…it explains a lot about many things…“ “I listened to what you had to say in the interview and I expect you feel you have thought all of this through.“ A friend told Debauchette she was "identifiable by the way I used the word ‘yeah’ and the way I touched my hair." Another didn't think she was recognizable at all. The blogger has not responded to her mom's email. I’m stunned, but I’m not ashamed of what I do or what I’ve done. I feel exposed but I don’t feel apologetic. I should feel mortified, but I don’t. Instead, I feel like a very private part of my life has been exposed, like they’ve just caught me in the middle of some sex act. So I suppose I feel awkward. Debauchette said she appeared on ABC to counter "the old Victorian trope of the broken, dysfunctional, fallen prostitute, incapable of forming her own opinions or making her own decisions." She told Sawyer she has about seven regular clients, mostly married, and that she was once offered $2.9 million to be with a client "exclusively" for a year. In the video below, excerpted from a longer video posted to Boinkology by Gawker video maven Richard Blakeley, Dabauchette talks about the lover who got her into prostitution, and Sawyer presses her on whether she is truly happy with her work. Already under fire for its handling of the last Democratic presidential debate, in Pennsylvania, ABC News may very well catch some flack over this incident. But Debauchette does not sound, in her post, like an angry or burned source, and she even speculates her identity may have been compromised not by ABC's cameras or microphones but by her own speech patterns. She casts her appearance as a victory for a "pro-slut" view of sex, and, although she wrote "Hi mom" earlier in the post, ends with this anecdote about sex with a guy she calls "Gabriel:" He fucked me over his sofa, the flat of his hand pressing down into my back. I felt him take my hair in his hand before he pulled out to come across my lower back, which splattered in a thick, swerving pattern. After, he took a snapshot of his come against my winter-pale skin. Once he toweled my back down and we both dressed, I took a look. It was a beautiful shot. [Boinkology, Debauchette]

Many in America are wondering why Barack Obama has captured the hearts and minds of many voters looking for something new and something different. They are astounded by the throngs of curious onlookers trying to figure out why they feel good in his presence and comfort in his words. The media is confounded by the willingness of the many to support Senator Obama’s campaign and feel a need to be a part of his message of change. We think we may have a clue to his success. Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray and Sirhan Sirhan robbed a youthful, innocent and starry-eyed America of its future, its dreams and a significant amount of it drive and potential. At a time when the country was at a precipice of teetering towards greatness or falling perilously into war, civil unrest and racial divide, we tripped, we stumbled, we faltered and we floundered. The country has been trying to find that right combination of fresh, vibrant, hopeful, positive, can do spirit for nearly forty years. America

As usual, we only get half of the story.  Waterboarding worked.  We got information which disrupted several plots.  On the other hand, Brian Ross of ABC News didn t really ask about false information that sent federal agents on wild goose chases.  He didn t mention that Abu Zabayduh was mentally disturbed from a head injury that he suffered years earlier.  He also didn t mention that James Risen reported that the FBI was getting good information out of Zabayduh without torture. Why did this CIA operative speak out now?  Do you smell a book deal in the air? From ABC News: A leader of the CIA team that captured the first major al Qaeda figure, Abu Zubaydah, says subjecting him to waterboarding was torture but necessary. In the first public comment by any CIA officer involved in handling high-value al Qaeda targets, John Kiriakou, now retired, said the technique broke Zubaydah in less than 35 seconds.  (more ) abc news, abu zubaydah, Al Qaeda, brian ross, cia officer, cia operative, james risen, National Intelligence, torture
