DOWD: OUR MAN IN ARIZONA

"He hasn't been featured in any of the flinty-eyed, lantern-jawed photo shoots where the Bush team preened as war heroes. Annie Leibovitz has never laid eyes on him."

NY TIMES op-ed queen Maureen Dowd is set to pass out the medals on Sunday, according to publishing sources, in a column paying tribute to the Phoenix-based FBI agent who warned about Islamic extremists in U.S. flight schools prior to 9/11.

The agent, Kenneth Williams, named by the LOS ANGELES TIMES on Saturday, gets full Dowd affection, just as she slaps around Bush officials for not living up "to their own billing."

"The Bushies were still fixated on their Maginot line of missile defense in the sky when the threat was Qaida freaks with box cutters. They cast themselves as the pros from Dover, the generals of the Gulf War with the right stuff," slaps Dowd.

"Now comes Mullah Omar spouting off that he and Osama will bring 'fire and hell' on America. Even the unshakable Condi seems shaky."

Dowd plants a tough-left: "Dick Cheney suggested that Democrats asking questions were unpatriotic. But that suggestion is anti-American. Maybe there has been too much bipartisanship lately. You can't get the truth that way."

Developing late Saturday...
