And now for the big one. Yellowcake? Nope. Plame? Nope. Military casualty rates? Nope. Boykin? Nope. West? Nope. None of it worked well enough to demonize President Bush in the eyes of the majority of American voters.
Now it gets uglier than even I thought possible: intelligence. Why don’t the Senate Democrats just go hand the stuff over to the remnants of the Baath Party? Yes, I know the memo specifies that declassified information be used. So what?
Why this is an outrage, outside of it being petty, anti-American, and, IMO, treasonous:
1. Anything that may help the administration may be still classified and, therefore, unusable as a defense unless the Bush administration wants to go even lower than the Democrats. Doubtful, since I don’t think that’s possible.
2. This declassified information could give clues to information that still is classified. One plus one equals two.
Would the Republicans do the same thing in the same situation? Den Beste tells us that at least one didn’t.
