    Cohen's Column is Just So Wrong

    Cohen's column is full of incorrect statements, distractions, and just plain whining, it was hard to read. Obviously he has been in Washington far too long. By his reckoning nobody in Washington should ever be charged with any crime. Congress can investigate all it wants, but Cohen thinks that is where it should end. Just investigations, nothing more.

    I was particularly irritated by his claim that anti-war advocates did not think about where the whole Valerie Plame thing could lead.

    Glenn, I agree, this is the prime example of how the chattering class in Washington thinks, if "think" is the right word.

    Perhaps that is the problem, they do not think, they just react.
