From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Musil on a Roll
That's at least seventeen distinct items on this great matiere juridique du canard. There was no conflict of interest, at least without overall reappraisal of what kinds of actions by justices are exemplary, borderline or unacceptable (in the words of the Times). But who wants to spoil the fun at the Times?
But where a memorandum by a 9-11 Commission member becomes a central issue in the Commission's own investigation? Conflict? Conflict? That's a conflict? No, no - that's just "baggage." Don't bother the Times with such trivia. They're busy making more Duck Soup! In fact, the Times editorial policy on "conflicts of interest" looks more and more like that screenplay.
Lisez la chose entière or something like that.
[you know that post title didn't work out like I hoped]

"Musil on a roll?"
Some people say that they prefer me in a stew.

Ah. So the Bush Right is now cranking up to accuse all the Republican Commission members of being in cahoots with the VLWC? (None of them has accused Gorelick of being biased or of ruining the Commission's results with her memorandum, and Slade Gorton explicitly defended her during his exchange with Ashcroft. But then, all of them -- with the possible exception of James Thompson -- have also made extremely pointed public remarks about the behavior of the White House.) Off with their heads -- quick, before it's too late!
