Matt Welch, associate editor of Reason Magazine, has an excellent article on the Joseph Wilson-Valerie Plame affair and what it says about the Bush Administration in today's National Post (Canada).
But even the most generous possible interpretation of events -- minimizing Plame's covertness, maximizing Wilson's partisan motives and assuming the leakers acted alone -- still provides more evidence of the Bush administration's most alarming pathologies. These are people who all too frequently confuse themselves with the U.S. government, see their enormous power as a tempting means to an end, and treat their critics like enemies of the state.
