No way around it - Wilson was right

Well, the Bush bloggers will be all over this piece in the WaPo, like flies on honey. It's another irritating "balanced" piece where they give equal weight to both sides of this tired debate on whether Joe Wilson is "credible."

FIrst of all, it doesn't even matter if what Joe Wilson said was true, which by the way it was. What's important, in terms of the investigation, is that the White House lied about their role in the smear campaign against him. They perjured themselves and obstructed justice.

In any event, the Republican's talking points making an lame attempt to discredit Wilson have long since been debunked and and there is ample additional evidence from many other sources that prove Wilson was telling the truth. The WaPo failed to make the distinction however, Josh Kalven helpfully recaps the facts that dispute the Republican's hamfisted attempts at damage control.
