On Face the Nation, Schieffer, VandeHei passed up ample opportunities to ask Lieberman about claim that Lamont's Iraq strategy will "strengthen" terrorists

SUMMARY: On CBS' Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer let Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (CT) claim that he does "not [] play partisan politics" and that his opponent, businessman Ned Lamont, is engaged in a "smear partisan political game." Schieffer made no mention of Lieberman's own claim -- in the wake of arrests made over an alleged terror plot in London -- that Lamont's proposed Iraq exit-strategy "would strengthen [terrorists]" and allow them to "strike again."
