Late Tuesday morning, my Blackberry starting buzzing non-stop. So many e-mails were coming in, all on the same theme, that I knew I was being targeted somewhere in the blogosphere.

This specific stream of e-mails written with passion but pleasantly without the usual vitriol ginned up by ultra-partisan sites, essentially all had the same message: The Chicago Sun-Times needed to pay more attention to British government documents dubbed the "Downing Street Memo.''

Wolfowitz brushed aside a string of questions. He had not read the memo. He did not remember the lunch.

"There's a lot I could say about what you're asking about, if I were willing to get distracted from the main subject," Wolfowitz said.

For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction (as justification for invading Iraq) because it was the one reason everyone could agree on.
