Truth as a Weapon

"As the White House was sliming Richard Clarke, the 9/11 families were stroking him.

Several relatives of victims surrounded the ex-counterterrorism chief after his testimony yesterday and reached out to pat him. After being condescended to, stonewalled, led on and put off by the White House, they were glad to hear somebody say: "Those entrusted with protecting you failed you. And I failed you.""

"Donald Rumsfeld told the 9/11 panel that there had been no point retaliating for the Cole bombing in October 2000, "four months after the fact," because that might have sent a signal of weakness.

So it was too late to whack Osama four months later, but not too late to re-whack Saddam 12 years later?"

Today is one of those days! Saw the editorial in my email this morning. Very, very powerful.

Of course, there are days when she makes me want to toss my laptop across the room. But most often, she's right on.

William Saffire is another story altogether. :)
