"A cottage industry of patriotic truth tellers"

ray mcgovern, posting on consortium news, offers up a perspective that trashing joseph wilson and outing valerie plame was the act of a desperate man who could not allow the cia to gain credibility by negating his prize rationale for pushing the illegal iraq war...

Cheney clearly felt that something had to be done - anything. It seems a mark of desperation that this is the best they could come up with. They may have concluded that launching a hardknuckle campaign against Wilson might at least deter others from becoming patriotic truth tellers of the kind Joseph Wilson has modeled so well.

Initially, this tactic succeeded. More recently a cottage industry of patriotic truth tellers has taken shape, and (surprise, surprise!) even some among the mainstream media have given them ink and air time.

the truth is still trickling out... each day, there's a little bit more... i am patiently waiting for the floodgates to open...
