This whole thing reiterates my view that you must FIGHT liberals every step of the way---you cannot "work with them" or even side with them on ANYTHING. Wells thought that by portraying Libby as the victim of the devious Rove and Cheney, it would make him sympathetic. Right. He would have been so much better off to fight this as a political witch hunt from the get go and to paint Cheney and Rove as saints.
Right on on that. I think they probably felt later that it didn't fly...
