J-Pod Has a Good PointTalking about the Miller mess, he notes:
The outraged prose on this matter from writers outside the Times — like Greg Mitchell of Editor and Publisher and the just-out-of-the-nuthouse cases populating the Huffington Post on the Web — suggests that if only the Times had published nothing articles more skeptical of the WMD claims, it could have kept the war from happening.Indeed, that's one of the more amusing aspects of the "Bush Lied, 2000 Died" crowd. They all insist that he duped us into supporting the war. Of course, I don't think he lied to me, and they weren't supporting the war, so the question is who was duped?
Mitchell's an
odious blister whom I've
lanced a few times in the past.

Michael Barone's rather pithy summary of the situation:
Karl Rove and Scooter Libby are apparently in trouble because they told the truth about somebody who was telling lies.Also, note his prediction:
Well, I don't believe there should be indictments this week, so I'll go out on a limb and I will predict there will not be indictments this week.
