   Mac, Clarice–
   Thank you for your coverage when almost everyone else has moved on.

   Clarice, Libby hired the wrong defense counsel. It should have been you.

   One conclusion I draw from your summary is that concern for the country is difficult to find these days, doesn’t matter to which party you look. During the national Memorial Day telecast from the West-front of the Capitol, I was disgusted to see John Murtha using a true wounded American hero as a prop for the camera shot. What a sick contrast.

   The Libby/Plame/Wilson circus is another sick contrast, a case study in how unabated corruption has corroded our institutions to the point where a true hero can be publicly destroyed before our eyes by the very institutions we depend upon to protect us and dispense justice. The perpetrators have no conscience, and no visible scintilla of care for the good of the country. It’s “get Bush, any way we can; destroy anyone we have to.” Had Fitzgerald been so fanatic in prosecuting terrorists when he had that responsibility, we’d consider him a hero. Instead, he has spent our resources to destroy a quiet hero of the war on terror. Does that make Fitzgerald an enemy of the US, an abettor of terror? How about a useful idiot of the “fifth column?” If you unjustly attack those fighting the war, doesn’t that make you an accomplice of our enemies?

   I’ve come to believe that people like Murtha and Fitzgerald, and so many more on both sides of the divide, those who, willingly or otherwise, distract us from the dangers we face, keeping us from combatting our enemies while the dangers grow, understand at the end of the day what they have done. And I believe that these people, who have traded their country’s safety for their own desires, on days such as Memorial Day, or Veterans Day, or the Fourth of July, can only with great difficulty look West, across the Potomac, to Arlington. Because when they look to that place of honor they see themselves and their own failures reflecting back from the gravestones. They see how they have chosen to harm rather than serve their country. They cannot look in the direction of Arlington except in shame.

   And that probably explains the stunning fanaticism we continue to witness in the Libby circus. The perpetrators cannot look upon real heroes without passionately hating what they see, their own shame and failings reflected back.

   Thanks again for your steadfast work.
