I JUST SAW THIS OPED BY BILL KELLER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. Note the lead:

If candor counted for as much as courtesy, the author note under Brent Scowcroft’s now famous op-ed in The Wall Street Journal last week, the one arguing against war with Iraq, might have said something like this: “Mr. Scowcroft, the former national security adviser, now makes his living advising business clients, some of whom would be gravely inconvenienced by a war in the Middle East. And by the way, he thought Saddam Hussein was finished after the gulf war in 1991.”

And it gets better. It’s basically a full-bore Fisking of the antiwar critics, which is pretty remarkable in the Times.

UPDATE: Mickey Kaus points out that Keller was the contender beaten out by Howell Raines. The Times, I think it’s safe to say, would be a lot better paper if Keller had gotten the job.
