What does the NYT know, and when did they know it?

NYT knows something. Read their editorial on Pelosi this morning. It went from lukewarm two days ago to frigid today. Beginning from the exposure of nuclear plans seized from Iragi government and put up on the website and culminating with their clean and cutting editorials of the last week or so, these indicate to me that the editorial board is scared spitless about something....what they know they have not deigned to share, but they know something.

This shift is taking place throughout the Dem hierarchy. Hoyer's win by such a margin was concrete affirmation that the liberals finally get it.

It is a very spooky moment. If NYT makes a move toward a semblance of apology to Bush and his team, it will be in the form of criticism about not doing enough with Damascus and Teheran.

On the up side, it's good that NYT woke up; on the bad side, their sleep enhanced the danger by giving the bad guys valuable time to get their nuclear act together.

I see an attack here, which will totally discredit the liberals. Then, I see them jumping on board with a clamor for pre-emptive attacks on Syria and Iran.

The only thing that can save this situation is for an attack on Russia by Islamists spur Putin or his successor into an alliance with us, but don't bet on it. The crap table has better odds.
