I haven't claimed anything on the basis of "maybe somebody said something". I'm only pointing out that others might have said what Adelman said and that those who needed to have it pointed out to them that Adelman did say it should, having already been corrected, be a little cautious insisting nobody else said what Adelman said.
Regarding condescension - people who live in glass houses...
I know you posted a reference, but can you explain to me what exactly Adelman’s role is in the Bush Administration? My claim all along has been that no one in the Bush Admin said “cakewalk.” So, I guess I’m asking for a bigger clue how Adelman is considered part of the “Bush Admin.”
From what I know, the Policy Board is by nature independent.
