Republicans have become adept at self-deception. They will believe any argument that justifies Bush and no news report that casts doubt on Bush's war. The leaked British government memo is dismissed as just more anti-Bush propaganda from the liberal media, like Dan Rather and Newsweek. Newsweek's retraction of its story that US soldiers flushed a Koran down a toilet proves to Republicans that the only problem is an anti-American liberal media. The fact that Newsweek was absolutely correct in reporting desecration of the Koran by US troops -- and only got wrong the particular way in which the holy book was desecrated -- has been totally ignored by Republicans. Republicans believe everything Bush says. When he tells them he needs a police state to save them from terrorists, they believe him. Who will save us from Bush's police state?
