Reply to Mark Stein: "Lots of right-wing blogs are linking to Mark Steyn's article in last Sunday's Chicago Sun-Times. In the piece, Steyn argues that America needs to be protected from diplomats who lose sight of their job in their quest for personal recognition. In other words, diplomats like Joe Wilson.

The main problem with Steyn's argument is that it attempts to discredit Wilson, and thereby critics of the war, through a sensationalized reading of the facts about Iraqi WMDs and, more specifically, Iraq's efforts to acquire uranium in Africa."
