But Obama needs political cover, so he is creating a three-ring
circus for the media by naming a special prosecutor to conduct a likely
leaky investigation designed to throw dirt at the CIA. The exposures he is
likely to make will dominate the headlines even as Obama disingenuously
retreats from his campaign commitments on Iraq and on foreign policy in
general. And, the investigation may even make enough noise to permit a
retreat on health care. We hope so.
