Emptywheel Laments the Dishonesty of Max Frankel and the NY Times (7:00 am)

Emptywheel at firedoglake reviews a commentary on the Libby trial by the NY Times’ Max Frankel, and sadly observes how neither Frankel nor other senior editors at the Times are willing to distinguish a difference between aiding and abetting government officials in criminal obstruction of justice from helping a whistleblower expose government corruption. And how they pride themselves on defending the former while pretending it’s the latter.

Ir just really depends on which side you are on. None of this is about right vs wrong, merely us vs them.

But then again, that is how democracy is supposed to work. And our bickering is so very mild, when is the last time we even had a duel?

(Hmmm, wouldn’t it be cool to see W do toe to toe with Hillary or Obama on the field of honor? Surely a no lose situation for the voters. . .)
