That's Going to Leave a Mark
Now that the Plame affair is over, and "it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson" in the Washington Post's words, Wretchard observes: "Mark Coffey is "absolutely flabbregasted" at the Post's accurate summation of events, which is sad in the way that watching an immigrant from the Third World marveling that the electricity works is."
That's going to leave a mark, on the media that is. How sad indeed that we are stunned when the media is accurate to events. As I put it 3 years ago:
[S]hould it transpire that there is far more smoke than fire here, and that in fact nothing quite so dastardly as the intentional blowing of operatives' cover for petty political reasons actually happened, the critics who are all over the administration on this issue should apologize in the same fora where they are smearing the President.
I also noted that I didn't think that such a result would happen, so at least I'm not surprised. Just disgusted.
