I’m getting lots of email from readers trying to make the case that it’s not that big a screw up. Some are more persuasive than others. But the Kerry Spot already has a lot of good stuff about it.

One point I do like which several readers have made: According to the WMD-logic of some on the left, these explosives were never there in the first place. Since, after all, knowing they were there once is not proof that they were ever. In effect the New York Times must be lying.
