going back on my 2k memory here, but i somewhat recall that the release of this 'wilsonian' sophistry coincided closely with the senate intelligence committee memos scandal (yes, there are two "memogates" - this & the slightly more reported senate judicial memogate) that was subsequently not &/or under-reported by MSM. In the intel-scandal, the leftists on that committee led by rockefeller (d-wva) were plotting to use their highly classified take from their committee to undermine Bush administration... even at the cost of lives and increased danger to our troops.
at which point I thought it was certainly a manufactured scandal... created by the dhimms to distract attention from other, more important issues that stood to condemn the seditious behaviour of the dhimmicrats within.
