Yeah, the yellowcake thing and its fallout (if you will) was a national disgrace. I was disgusted with the Valerie Plame business; rule one of running a country: you do not out serving intelligence officers to discredit their husbands.
You're right about Campbell. Love him or hate him, he was a properly, fully-evolved political animal. Compared to him, Bush and Cheney and their lackeys are Little-Leaguers. We may not see his like again.
And I don't think there's anyone who takes Michael Crichton seriously as a climatologist. Oh, please god tell me there isn't...
