Larry Johnson and Joe Wilson are somewhere behind most of these anti-Bush stories. It would be quite easy to come up with a Hillaryesque 'vast left-wing conspriracy' that shows the flow of information and most of it would lead back to a handful of Bush-haters.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that what we have is not a cabal of Bush-haters, but a cabal of double agents. This is not just about nailing Bush - why bother, after the election when he is a lame duck? It's about de-legitimizing the entire U.S. policy in the Middle East. Now think about who benefits from that. The Cold War may not be over, after all.
