re: The point (and there is one):
NPR, Newsweek, New York Times, you name it. All of them pouring this out by the bucket, long after the horse has left the barn. Why now?
This is payback, Mary Anne. There is no other reason for hauling all this out once the Democrats have enough power to make anything stick. Or maybe it gives the "enlightened" another reason to feel "smug and self-righteous." So easy to forget that Democratic leaders too were howling for tougher methods back then.
Meanwhile, the media has marked two men in the intelligence community for attack. Oddly, many of those who thought releasing Valerie Plame's name was treason are cheering. I guess it all depends on which gang you run with.
