I was intrigued to see him mention the same exact three people I had mentioned I have been reading as perhpas the three most credible inside critics and whistle blowers on some of the incredible lapses of ethics and serious thought passing as legitimate politics in Washington (but gladly, mush less so on an increasing basis)
There has been a great deal written about Joe Wilson and the Valerie Plame disclosure — and I’m going to add to this in coming weeks. I spent an hour and a half with Joe at the Starbucks near the White House on the 1700 block of Pennsylvania Avenue yesterday. (U.S. Trade Representative Bob Zoellick said hello and said that the New America Foundation, where I work, was generating “great stuff.”)
What interests me about this incident overall is that it seems to be about the only game going for legally constraining this presidency. The tussle over Vice President Cheney’s energy briefing roundtables with industry leaders never really rose to the level of serious consequence for the administration. The only other challenges came by way of challenges of incompetence or distraction from reality by people like Paul O’Neill or Richard Clarke. the link direct to this entry
