ArmsControlWonk: Wilson Bashers and Rove Defenders:Hearing You Talk is a Waste of Silence: "Others are doing a fine job keeping up with the legal issues and day-to-day news regarding the whole Wilson/Plame/Rove thing.

However, as this NYT oped points out, the Wilson affair is part of a larger issue: the administration’s deceptions regarding the Iraq WMD issue. Wilson simply (and correctly) pointed out that the Niger/Iraq/uranium intel was a relevant data point.

I realize that we all know the right-wing line (Rove was merely trying to set the record straight) is bullshit, but this silliness has gained enough currency in places like the WSJ and Slate where it should be convincingly and repeatedly refuted.

[As an aside,you’d expect this crap from the WSJ oped page, but Slate should really be embarrassed for printing the Hitchens screed.]"
