TACITUS HAS more on the bogus Wolfowitz oil quote. It's amazing who's falling for it.

But will Atrios stay a group blog? Maybe it is the wave of the future.

Meanwhile Christopher Johnson identifies more desperate efforts to regain the moral high ground via lies. I don't think that approach will work. . . .

UPDATE: Daniel Drezner calls it "galactically stupid distortion at The Guardian." Drezner notes:

The Guardian's version of events in such a ludicrous distortion of Wolfowitz's words that it falls into the "useful idiots" category. By apparently relying on a German translation/distortion of Wolfowitz's words -- when multiple English-language sources of the actual comments were available -- I have to wonder if the Guardian is guilty of libel in this case.

Hmm.
