I've said it before: David Boyd has a knack for nailing it with just a few words.
Here's another example. I've lifted the whole post, including the title. (David's said it's OK to do that as long as I don't do it too often.)
Now David's post:

It ain't a leak if the prez says it ain't
Podhoretz:
And this "leak" wasn't a leak in any case. A "leak" is the unauthorized release of government information. The leak of classified information is a crime. But according to Scooter Libby, the former chief of staff to the vice president who gave the information from the NIE to a reporter, he only released it because he was authorized to do so by the president himself.The problem with this line of defense is the covertness desired by the White House in getting the info out. If everything was above board, how about a press release.

See what I mean?
How long will I keep saying, "David Boyd can really nail it?"
Until he stops.

It strikes me that the loudest voices in this situation are the least sensible. It also strikes me that the pursuit of justice needs no great noise.
That can not be said when profit or undeserved advantage be sought through another's misfortune. Especially if the great wall of noise starts before the facts are known.
