Thank god for this awful op-ed by the Washington Whore Post's token "moderate"/"liberal", columnist Richard Cohen
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/18/AR2007061801366_pf.html
Cohen, like most writers and columnists from the Post, has of course long be an unabashed if slightly white-washed neo-con. You could not possibly work at the Washington Post and see the atrocious lies and frauds of the Bush-Cheney administration around you daily, without speaking out to the point of being exiled (fired), if you weren't a dyed-in-the-wool authortarian, imperial America-uber-alles neo-con.
Cohen, however, has been such the master of inoffensive, wishy-washy, "hear no evil, see no evil, for god's sake speak no evil' of the gross corruption in Washington of which he is part, that it has taken us 4 or 5 or 6 or more years to actually nail him down as the anti-democracy neo-con that he actually is and always has been.
Well, thanks to ConsortiumNews.com for bringing Cohen's neo-con coming out party to our attention. According to the whore Post's token "moderate/liberal" Mr. Cohen, Lewis 'Scooter' Libby's PERJURY and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE _CONVICTIONS_ are all a case of an out-of-control federal prosecutor - Patrick Fitzgerald - harassing hard working and powerless White House officials, and poor Mr. Libby should be set free to OUT MORE COVERT US CIA OPERATIONS, OBSTRUCT MORE justice, and allow the SMEARING and INTIMIDATION of more administration critics. By obsttructing the FBI investigation into the Bush-Cheney-Rove White House's illgal outing of CIA agent, Mr. Libby DERAILED the investigation into that crime well past the 2004 election, effectively smoothering a re-election killing scandal until well past that presidential election of 2004.
Mr. Richard Cohen of the Washington Post is also a textbook example of the AIPAC sense of entitlement: "OF COURSE our agents and political allies can OUT an ENTIRE CIA UNDERCOVER OPERATION (Brewster-Jennings Energy Consultants co.) if that is required in the larger effort to get the US military fighting wars all through the MiddleEast - we own the US government, and if we destroy one CIA operation, it is because we are entitled to expend a portion of 'our' US military/defense/intel assets in pursuit of larger victories." While Libby, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld and Bush may not be charter members of AIPAC, Cheney, Libby, and Rumsfeld most certainly were co-signers of the PNAC "use the US military towards 'regime change' in Iraq at earliest possible moment" manifesto - along with charter AIPAC/PNAC neo-cons Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, and others.

His mild-mannered, inoffensive covered story blown to smithereens as he tries to SMEAR the US prosecutor who proved that ONLY OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE prevented the Bush administration from being completely blown out of office in 2004 (John Kerry's pathetic, anemic, punching-bag campaign not-with-standing), the Washington Post's token "liberal/moderate" op-ed columnist Richard Cohen reveals himself as the administration-enabling, smear-mongering-supporting, high-crimes ignoring, government-by-presidential-dictatorial-decree neo-con that he truly is.

Is WP's Cohen Dumbest Columnist?
Cohen accuses special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald of violating longstanding Justice Department guidelines

Granted it would be quite a competition, but is Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen the dumbest columnist ever?
In his June 19 op-ed, Cohen joined the latest Inside-the-Beltway craze, the neoconservative media riot over the 30-month jail sentence facing former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
From reading the column, it does appear that Cohen has the skills at least to master and recite the litany of talking points that the neocons have compiled to make their case about the injustice of Libby going into the slammer for committing perjury and obstruction of justice. [continued]
===================================================================
Washington Whore Post columnist RICHARD COHEN whimpers and whine for - Lewis 'Scooter' Libby - the PRESIDENT's SENIOR ADVISOR _AND_ Vice President's Chief of staff - at the very heart of the illegal outing of a CIA agent (and her entire undercover CIA supporting cover operation) as a means of SMEARING a vocal administration war critic in the weeks shortly after the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

(this WHORE-iffic example of Washington Post LIES, SMEARS, INNUENDOS, and nation-gutting falsehoods isn't worth reprinting a single paragraph.)
