Blowhard Wilson

This article at WaPo isn't too bad. I don't know what "Scooter" did, but this is another indication of this Administration's inability to put out information on their own points without stumbling or doing a poor job. Though the topic still shows those who have a foot in the fever swamp still bray that the Administration outed Plame who was a "covert" operative. Obviously, the democrat investigator disagreed, since he found nothing.

If Wilson had stated the truth instead of lying in his Op-Ed he wouldn't have this headache now. The best line is this:

Mr. Wilson's case has besmirched nearly everyone it touched. The former ambassador will be remembered as a blowhard. Mr. Cheney and Mr. Libby were overbearing in their zeal to rebut Mr. Wilson and careless in their handling of classified information. Mr. Libby's subsequent false statements were reprehensible. And Mr. Fitzgerald has shown again why handing a Washington political case to a federal special prosecutor is a prescription for excess.

I agree with all that, though I'm still questioning whether Libby really did anything but make a mistake.
