I have just watched "Frontline" try to assassinate Cheney over what we have done since 911. It was a liberal "hit piece" starring all the usual left wing critics of the Admin I saw it too. It was fairer and more nuanced than what passes for most Democratic commentary, but I wondered if anybody on the White House's side of affairs had seriously tried to counter-spin the CIA's extreme CYA job. It would have been better if Rumsfeld and Cheney could have spoken for themselves. But then, they still have jobs and are busy. I wonder if Frontline tried to get Wolfowitz or Perle? The coverage of the Plame affair was ludicrous. At least they mentioned Cheney's questions, "did his wife send him on a junket?" etc, which were reasonable. But they never pointed out that a Vice President, no matter his politics, has a right to have his queries of the CIA investigated by an intelligence professional, who will come back and write a report and keep quiet, not tell one thing to the CIA and write another version of it in the NY Times. The whole overtone of noble professionals at the CIA bullied by the "Dark Side" at the White House was bathetic. Such innocents, the CIA, they wouldn't know from politics!
