Can You See Me Now?  —  Federal agents routinely request tracking data from cellphone companies to determine the travel and assembly habits of suspects, and courts have granted them unusual leeway in obtaining the data.  Are these terrorist suspects that could present a clear and imminent danger to the lives of Americans?

Charles Krauthammer / Washington Post:
On Iraq, a State of Denial  —  It does not have the drama of the Inchon landing or the sweep of the Union comeback in the summer of 1864.  But the turnabout of American fortunes in Iraq over the past several months is of equal moment — a war seemingly lost, now winnable.

Jonathan Martin / The Politico:
Thompson motivation hard to pinpoint  —  Fred Thompson prefers plain talk.  So he might bridle at using a famous Winston Churchill quote to sum up his presidential campaign: "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma."  —  But with fewer than 50 days to go until the Iowa caucuses …
Greg Sargent / TPM Election Central:
Rudy: Yes, I Voted For McGovern, But I Actually Preferred Nixon  —  As he seeks to court GOP primary voters, one potential sticking point has been his opposition to the Vietnam War in the early 1970s and his vote for Dem George McGovern in 1972.  But Rudy has now concocted a new explanation for that vote: He didn't mean it.
