The Real Tragedy of RoveGate

Quote of the Day on the Rove scandal:

"This case is about Iraq, not Niger. The real victims are the American people, not the Wilsons. The real culprit. . . is not Mr. Rove but the gang that sent American sons and daughters to war on trumped-up grounds and in so doing diverted finite resources, human and otherwise, from fighting the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. That's why the stakes are so high: this scandal is about the unmasking of an ill-conceived war. . . "
