Iraqi elections not spying on own people unlawfully the story

Don't you just hate it when an interviewee, even the president of the United States, refuses to answer questions on a subject, saying “That's not the story. This is the story...” and then talks about something that clearly isn't the story? With the alleged unlawful spying on US citizens on the front page of most US papers, President Bush still wants to claim the Iraqi elections are the real story. I don't think so.
