The FISA fight is still ongoing, largely behind the scenes. In public, the White House is continuing its policy of issuing false statements, asserting that America is in great danger now, and slandering House leadership in the process. Take a look at this press release from Sunday. It appears to be some sort of fact check of Speaker Pelosi's statements on the expiration of the Protect America Act, but if you look closely, you'll notice that they neither dispel--nor even really address--any of her assertions. That's, of course, because they're all correct.
