Power Line

Today's New York Sun editorial advocates a presidential pardon for Lewis Libby. This editorial does not get everything right, but on some points it swats the ball out of the park. Here are a few ot them in the space of one paragraph:
    If Ms. Plame didn't want her identity out, she shouldn't 
have gotten her husband a secret mission and then allowed
him to wage a public campaign against the president's
foreign policy. The leading prevaricator in this case is
Mr. Wilson himself. He has accused Mr. Bush of falsely
leading America to war. Mr. Bush had claimed "The British
government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently
sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
Mr. Wilson drank tea in Niger for a week and said that
Mr. Bush's claim was not true. But even after Mr.
Wilson's objection, the July 2004 report by the British
government's Butler Commission found that Mr. Bush's
comment was "well-founded." In a July 2004 report by the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senators
Roberts, Hatch, and Bond said of Mr. Wilson, "The former
Ambassador, either by design or through ignorance, gave
the American people and, for that matter, the world a
version of events that was inaccurate, unsubstantiated,
and misleading."
The question pregnant in this paragraph seems to me whether there is a serious journalist among the mainstream media who thinks the story in the Libby case might be the CIA's efforts to defeat the president. Isn't that the big story?
