Of course for this to work it takes a tough interrogator/investigator, someone not intimidated by the bad guy, someone willing to call them when they twist and turn their stories. We’ve lacked that for the past eight years and it is only now, once the bad guy is no longer powerful, are people like Matthews and others in the MSM willing to question him. The damage has already been done though.

But at least the spotlight has been turned on him. So let him keep talking. Eventually, like some petty criminal in a Bogart film, in a dank interrogation room filled with cigarette smoke, under the swinging overhead light he’ll break. I don’t think it’ll be some tearful mea culpa but more like Nixon’s outburst of anger at David Frost, with a famous ‘if the President does it, it isn’t illegal’ type line. And the whole charade will come tumbling down. Little benefit to the tens of thousands of dead Iraqis, the thousands of dead military members and their families, the trampled Constitution and America’s reputation but it’ll be something.

The McClatchy reporters focus completely on facts, *and* Tweety does not interrupt them (until the last seconds of the 9:20 interview). He lets them speak, and wow do these men present fact, after fact, after fact.

There are obviously some who won’t want to hear what they say, but this is what media should be — fact, after fact, after fact (citing source, after source, after source).

Wow.
The power of level-headed people presenting fact, after fact, after fact is something we’ve seen too little of for a very long time.

Tweety finally hits one out of the ball park — these McClatchy reporters have a ton of facts at the tip of their tongues.

Very heartening interview.

Cheney takes jab at Richard Clarke

Occam’s razor says that if there were anything else there, it would’ve been leaked by now. It seems clear that this is the only “success” story that Cheney has to hang his hat on. And while he never directly linked Saddam to 9/11, he certainly has said that there were multiple attacks thwarted that we never found out about because they were classified… I seriously doubt that.

I don’t think there is any mutual exclusion in there

dick is filling his diapers at an alarming rate

I think Alcoholics Autonomous calls something like this “A Moment Of Clarity”

accountability an cowardice don’t mix

I’m just curious why Cheney is backtracking on his big claims now.

Yeah, that was my first reaction as well.
What’s up?
Why now?

Something seems weird.
