Richard Weirdo Cohen:

• Let this leak go.
• the administration ... set out to impeach Wilson's credibility ... what Washington does day in and day out ... is rarely considered a crime.
• special prosecutors ... should always be avoided
• I pray Fitzgerald is not going to reach for an indictment
• I believe ... Miller is the martyr to a free press
• Apres Miller comes moi
• I want Fitzgerald to leave now

Cohen's column was the kind of thing you'd expect to read in the National Review. And what's with all the pro-Miller stuff? A martyr? Miller, he writes, "is sometimes accused of taking this nation to war in Iraq all by herself." Sometimes by her employer, the New York Times (which apologized for a number of Miller's bogus front-page stories about WMD in Iraq). And as to "official secrets, most of which are known to hairdressers, mistresses and dog walkers" - please, Mr. Cohen, tell us those secrets. All of them. Now.
