9. I still haven't decided what to make of Scotty's book, his interviews, the timing, etc. |
|
Many are out quickly to praise him. Seemingly an equal number to condemn. Until he puts up some chips (testifies) I really have no idea what to make of him, his actions and their timing.

11. We'd have to know what the White House managed to |
|
get taken out of that book to make a truly informed decision.
However, right now, we need to take what we can get, and damning Stupid as an arrogant and ignorant jerk is what we can get from a former insider.
It will simply have to do for now, although laying the Plame outing at his feet was a nice touch.

15. As for how many lives Scottie could have saved... |
|
I know the kind of person he was when he took the position and started shilling for Bush. I'm surrounded by people like him. But I think the weight of the dead body count in Iraq probably reached a tipping point for him. In other words, he is a man with a conscience. We should pay close attention, because, whatever it was that finally convinced him to step up and do what he did, is a process we need to start applying to everyone else who was trapped by the incredibly sadistic and self-destructive Republican philosophy which has dominated our country in the last ten years.
