Abu Wabu

Surely this is some sort of hoax, what with it being in the middle of the night: Drudge shows a still from CNN's live broadcast of Vice-President Cheney's speech with a black "x" overlaying the TV image. Drudge reports that "The 'X' over Cheney's face appeared each time less than a second, creating an odd subliminal effect". The "X" image was accompanied by some obvious but indecipherable black lettering below. One of the last words appears to be "black".

The White House is curious. More later.

UPDATE:
The White House is no longer curious.

I'm more interested in Cheney's speech. Read it or you're not doing your homework.

As the prime target of terrorists who have shown an ability to hit America and who wish to do so in spectacular fashion, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to keep terrible weapons out of the hands of these enemies.
And we must hold to account regimes that could supply those weapons to terrorists in defiance of the civilized world.
As the president has said, terrorists and terror states do not reveal threats with fair notice, in formal declarations. And responding to such enemies only after they have struck first is not self-defense, it is suicide.
