Safire has gone berserk. He's caught up in the same madness that afflicted Cheney and the Times. How in the world is this a disavowal?

<<After Vice President Dick Cheney's outraged objection, the staff's sweeping conclusion was soon disavowed by both commission chairman Tom Kean and vice chairman Lee Hamilton.

"Were there contacts between Al Qaeda and Iraq?" Kean asked himself. "Yes . . . no question." Hamilton joined in: "The vice president is saying, I think, that there were connections . . . we don't disagree with that" — just "no credible evidence" of Iraqi cooperation in the 9/11 attack.>>

<<modifying his earlier "no credible evidence" judgment, was "not proven one way or the other.">>

Berserk, I say. Modification, my foot! Only a nut can find daylight between those two characterizations.

This fight is about nothing. It may be the dumbest fight I've ever seen.
