Reply #25: See Dana, that's what's so deliciously ironic. If the Administration had [View All]

not gone after Wilson and his wife....THERE WOULD BE NO SCANDAL!

Instead the geniuses of the Adminstration went after Wilson and his wife and managed to blow the cover of a CIA covert agent working on antiproliferation of WMD and a CIA front company! Generally, this is not considered a good or smart thing to do.

And so blaming Wilson for the scandal is rather like blaming the victim of an attack rather than the attacker. Strange.

Might as well blame that CIA too, those whiners: they actually filed a crime report with the FBI. And the FBI investigated. And then the DOJ called in a special prosecutor.

None of which would have been possible if the administration had instead chosen to just blow it off and let Wilson have his few minutes of fame until the media find something else to talk about like Michael Jackson or something equally of national import.

When it's a fed investigation and possible grand jury indictments, Wilson really is irrelevant. Either crimes were committed or not and the evidence of that is what matters.

And yeah, what is Pincus doing having his name on this? Milbank is no surprise, but Pincus knows better.
