Joe Conason nicely tracks the Republicans’ new “So Sue Me” defense on intel manipulation. Also, don’t miss this nice piece by Fred Kaplan in Slate, detailing how the president’s actions on how well things are going in Iraq are speaking louder than his words. Note to my neocon friends: I think your “flypaper” line may be about to be withdrawn by HQ. Just a heads-up. Don’t be the last one to find out.
