Matthew Yglesias deftly cuts through some recent Republican spin:

Much to-doing about Joe Wilson’s treatment in the SSCI Report which establishes pretty clearly that the dude has a serious credibility problem. I think that if you look back through my writings you will see me having stated from the get-go that Wilson’s credibility is not really the issue here. Burning CIA operatives is illegal, and the allegation that the burning was done in no way depends on Wilson’s credibility.

Amen. Whether or not the Saddam/yellowcake story is correct matters a lot less to me than whether someone at the highest levels of my government is guilty of treason.
