Unfortunately, that means that every other liberal rag will repeat this story. European papers will trumpet it. So will Al Jazeera and "news" outlets throughout the world. Any momentum the adminstration gets from winning approval from both houses of congress will be undermined. Queasy, but supportive dems will feel betrayed. Blair will be undermined. The so-called spine of the French and the Russkies will be stiffend to dig in their heels at the UN. This may be the best, indeed the only course of action, but it's a MAJOR blunder to make this public now. I suspect that some waivering idiot in the state department leaked this story for his/her own purposes. That's how the game works in DC.
