I hope the rest of the MSM sees and reports this perspective. <BR/><BR/>Karen, <BR/><BR/>That's another aspect of the Plame issue I'm thinking will come out...how the CIA was divided between rank and file and Bush implants. Same true for State and FBI. (And Pentagon, for that matter, though the high rollers who didn't play ball with Rummy got the axe. <BR/><BR/>I'm quite happy to be out of government, myself. <BR/><BR/>JeffJeff Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146644937683409726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1121626492866157612005-07-17T14:54:00.000-04:002005-07-17T14:54:00.000-04:00A bit off-topic...I think that what Hersh, and Fra...A bit off-topic...<BR/><BR/>I think that what Hersh, and Frank in particular,are doing is valuable. While many of us in the blogosphere have mentioned some of this stuff on our blogs in months past, we tend to let the MSM set the parameters of the discussion. Which is to say that we tend to react rather than be proactive. <BR/><BR/>Hersh and Frank do a masterful job of reminding us of the big picture and bringing us back to what is really important.<BR/><BR/>That's not to take anything away from Jehl and Sanger. They serve a purpose too. It's just that Hersh and Frank bring a gravitas to the table which gets attention. Sheer name recognition has it's value...<BR/><BR/>I look forward to Hersh's forthcoming article.<BR/><BR/>This issue reminds me of Iran/Contra in some respects. Congressional objections being ignored, in particular. Which strikes close to home for me because I was a loyal conservative Republican before Iran/Contra. Everything changed after that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
