Rove's bringing out the NLP.
I think this is important.
The word "treacherous" was very carefully chosen. This word can mean "dangerous" but it strongly connotes ideas like "traitor", "undependable" etc.
Not a coincidence that the SwiftBoat liars have been painting Kerry as a treasonous, traitorous liar, and the Bush campaign is now calling these "treacherous times."
Rove is a master at stuff like this, and it can be very effective.
