Too bad they put it on page A20. End of an Affair.
It now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously.
Gee, it all seems like common sense now, doesn't it? Will someone please calculate the cost of the independent prosecutor's work which was initiated by liberals due to Bush Derangement Syndrome and bring that up in the election cycle?

So, only 1 in 4 people think we are less safe today than five years ago. This despite the Democrats' best efforts to convince people otherwise:
Fearmongering (Pelosi version)
Fearmongering (Dean version)
Fearmongering (Murtha version)
and then there's just good old
Fearmongering (Gore version)
Did you see how that hurrican formed right out of those smokestacks! And that music.... We're all gonna die!
The best is from the second link.
GIBSON: But, on the issue of national security, 64% of the country says we're a stronger country than before 9/11. Given the mood of this country and the concerns are country and the personal fears, isn't that game, set and match for the Republicans?
DEAN: Absolutely not because the truth is we're not safer than we were when George Bush came into office.GIBSON: but the country thinks we are.
DEAN: That's an interesting poll but I've seen many others with folks who don't agree with that. Polls are polls.
