WE'RE RELUCTANT to return to the subject of former CIA employee Valerie Plame because of our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband

BULL!

From Freddie The Beadle Barnes' article today:

The media--especially the Washington Post and New York Times--relied heavily on Wilson's reckless and unfounded charges to wage journalistic jihad against the White House and Bush political adviser Karl Rove. Reporters and columnists, based on little more than Joe Wilson's harrumphing, bought the line that the White House "leaked" Plame's name to discredit her husband. In an editorial last January, the New York Times said the issue in the case "was whether the White House was using this information in an attempt to silence Mrs. Wilson's husband, a critic of the Iraq invasion, and in doing so violated a federal law against unmasking a covert operative." The paper's answer was yes.

The MSM now saying that they've heard enough about the Plame-Wilson Affair is equivalent to Hezbollah attacking Israel and when the IDF strikes back, the MSM calls for a ceasefire.

See my tagline, please...

Good luck to anybody who thinks they can SILENCE Joe Wilson, period.

Shame on the MSM - what were they thinking?
