I assume you're refering to the language I bolded. Hey, credit where credit is due. But if you delete that language, the rest seems pretty neutral. The "in President Bush's war on terrorism" part strikes me as poorly written in that is can be subject to several different interpretations, and it's not clear which is intended. Is the author trying to distance America (and hence himself) from Bush's actions? That's my read, and probably yours, but I'm not positive that was what was intended. Or is the author underscoring that one branch of the government is disagreeing with another? The author may have convinced himself this was the case.
Anyway, very interesting quote.
