#1 The waste of all that money for nothing. Just a wild goose chase, some heads should roll.

#2 Armitage, by keeping silent, has become a "partisan gunslinger". If he were non-partisan, honest, and honorable, he'd have come clean.

He didn't.

#4 Armitage has long been a skeleton-keeper in Washington. He's kept one step ahead of several indictments since the Reagan years. In essence, he is the diplomatic equivalent of James Bond.

#7 Before we blow wet kisses at Michael Isikoff for disclosing Armitage's mendacity, let's not forget that Isikoff was greatly responsible for the Newsweek "Qu'ran in a toilet at Gitmo" BS rumor that hamred the USA around the seething Muslim world.

#8 *harmed*

Isikoff and David Corn: two fairly left-of-center reporters.
