Editorial that it is, this piece is succinct. The writer is sparing of his words, if not of his views. Unlike bloggers who kill their concepts with boring repetitiousness the author makes the point and then moves out of the way for the reader to ponder the thought. Such conciseness is a rare virtue.

This story makes a strong case against the president's logic as related to the war in Iraq - and makes some compelling points. It is very well written, but not balanced. However, we are talking about an online journalist making a case against a sitting president who had our commercial free attention for a good chunk of prime time last night in which to make his case, so I don't believe it is bad journalism to put forth questions and concerns without giving "more" equal time.
