Wow!
Two dozen bloggers buzzing and it's just started.
Best comment so far:

How interesting that this story would begin breaking on the heels of the huge O'Connor story, and over the 4th of July weekend to boot...

Interesting, indeed.

The best commentary so far has come from Daniel Schorr in his commentary on All Things Considered at NPR. He points out that real importance of the matter has to do with leading the country into war. Following the dominoes back, the affair aims threatenly at the credibility of the White House. Any wonder they tried to bury it?
My July 14 post has a link to NPR and his four-minute audio clip.
