Credit, Where Due

In a recent post, I criticized globe columnist Margaret Wente for only taking on easy targets, so it is only fair that I mention her most recent column, "Would You goto Jail for Karl Rove", in which she criticizes both Karl Rove, strategist for George Bush, and the media in general, neither of which can really be classified as easy targets, although criticizing Bush and company from Canada is not nearly as risky as doing it from within the U.S. Also, it's not exactly brave to pile on Karl Rove at this late stage and her criticisms of the media are fairly mild and indirect but it's still a step up from taking on scientists and unnamed activists, so I thought I should mention it.
