Feith-Based Initiative

A man named Douglas Feith seems to have been designated as Official Scapegoat for all the bad intelligence work that got us into the war in Iraq over, at best, erroneous assumptions.

I do not mean to suggest Mr. Feith is blameless. Indeed, the fact that he's now making the rounds, denying he ever said all the things he said does not speak well for his integrity. But he may be drawing a disproportionate share of criticism that should rightly be dispersed over a wider pantheon of folks who screwed up royally.

In any case, he has achieved something amazing. How badly does a Bush administration official have to dissemble before Fox News calls him a liar?
