Nadine, re: "Wilson's lying NYT op-ed was "cause""

Nadine, you type the above phrase and then you justify it with 5 asserted "lies."

But I've read the op-ed piece and I still don't see any of the lies you attribute to Wilson.

Did you dream them up?

Do you have some special op-ed piece that we haven't seen?

Cause you surely can't be relying on "he implies," (asserted lie number one)....

or an "omission," (asserted lie number two) which by definition is not a false representation....

or "his report was routine," (asserted lie number three) which is hard to interpret as a lie since that's only your interpretation of what you think he meant....

or that "Cheney knew he had gone," (asserted lie number 4) when that was clearly presented as his opinion rather than a something he KNEW from direct knowledge...

or "his trip proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that no yellowcake had been purchased or even was attempted to be purchased," (asserted lie number five) when the piece makes it clear that he's not saying that, only relating what he did and didn't find on his trip and then drawing his own conclusions.

But maybe you mistake a statement of opinion for a statement of fact?

No, I don't think that's it. I think you believe whatever you want to believe and that you love believing that those who don't agree with your extreme, poorly reasoned views are liars, traitors and fools.

Too bad for you that they've so often been proven absolutely correct.

Your buddies smeared Wilson, they outed his wife, they smeared Kerry, they smeared McCain, and now they're smearing Fitzpatrick.

Your buddies made a hero out of George Bush, they made a hero out of Katherine Harris, they made a hero out of Kenneth Star and they're making a hero out of Scooter Libby.

But your buddies are a fast growing minority and given your "evidence" no impartial jury in this country would agree with your allegations of "lies." Ed
