Partisanship

Glenn, you should post somewhere the preface to your first book, Mr. Harris would benefit from reading it.

The foolishness of Kristol and Tenet

Kristol objects that Tenet wrote:

On the day after 9/11, he [Tenet] adds, he ran into Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative and the head of the Defense Policy Board, coming out of the White House. He says Mr. Perle turned to him and said: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened yesterday. They bear responsibility."

Had Tenet written:

Shortly after 9/11, he [Tenet] adds, he ran into Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative and the head of the Defense Policy Board, coming out of the White House. He says Mr. Perle turned to him and said: "Iraq has to pay a price for what happened on 9/11. They bear responsibility."

Kristol would not have a leg to stand on. The fact that Tenet did not write it this way when he had no written documentation of his conversation or the date on which it occurred goes to Tenet's abilities. Had the director of CIA had the skills to know this, perhaps we would not even be discussing this.

President Bush is bold.

Your last paragraph starts with a sentence using a very important word to understand what has happened. If supporters went back to the early days of this administration and looked at every time they described Bush or his actions as "bold" but replaced the word bold with "reckless", they would begin to understand what happened.

Edelman is illegally holding office

If Eric Edelman was given a recess appointment as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy on August 9, 2005, and "The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session," why did Mr. Edelman's commission not expire in December 2006?

If Mr. Edelman's commission has expired, why is he writing to Senator Clinton?

Lee "sacrificial lamb" Casey

Poor Mr. Casey. He doesn't know nothing from nothing. Nice presentation, Glenn.
