Everyone needs to stop getting worked up about Mehlman, King, etc.
John at AmericaBlog makes a GREAT point when he says:

"We need to ignore people like Ken Mehlman in any future discussion of the Rove scandal. The White House would like nothing more than for us to get mad at Ken for saying something stupid, then making Mehlman the debate and not Rove."

Operation Ignore Ken is now in play.

See here: http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/07/ken-who.html

AND here: http://www.seeingtheforest.com/archives/2005/07/see_the_forest_1.htm

This is about Rove. Nobody else. Until he talks, he's a coward. Period. End of story.

1. yes, yes, but first
I just need to point out that I bet the CIA is thrilled about the RW talking point that Rove should get a medal for outing one of them.

3. In theory, you're right.
But on the flip side, is it right to sit back when we honestly believe that our friends are falling into a trap?

I wish I had the answer.
