Voiding the "blank check..."

steve clemons...
So, while I'm sick about what has happened this week, this is all about taking back the blank check and unconstrained power that the American public gave this White House because of the war.

taking back that "blank check," however, requires that a great deal more be done... it's very interesting to hear a call for some of it coming from, of all places, the right... the american conservative in an article entitled, "Who was behind the Niger uranium documents?" has this to say...
The possible forgery of the information by Defense Department employees would explain the viciousness of the attack on Valerie Plame and her husband. Wilson, when he denounced the forgeries in the New York Times in July 2003, turned an issue in which there was little public interest into something much bigger. The investigation continues, but the campaign against this lone detractor suggests that the administration was concerned about something far weightier than his critical op-ed.

knight ridder makes a similar call and has compiled a good chronology of events surrounding the forgeries to date...
