MICKEY KAUS asks:

Where’s Howell? Isn’t it time we heard from embattled NYT executive editor Howell Raines about his role in the Rick Bragg mess, not to mention the ongoing “Blair Witchhunt” and the general turmoil in his newsroom? I think Kenneth Lay was more accessible to the press during the Enron scandal. … Is Raines still in charge?
