Steve Verdon fisks a post of Kevin Drum’s on this article from the Washington Post:
The notion of one of Washington’s most respected foreign policy figures being subjected to treatment that had at least a faint odor of a sting operation is a strange one.
Archive employees believed that Mr. Berger had illegally removed classified documents from the archives. They were doing their jobs. The notion that government officials—or former government officials—should receive different treatment than any other citizen is worse than strange. It is elitist, opposed to the rule of law, un-American, and vile.
This article appeared in the news section. As opinion it’s vile. As news it’s agit-prop.
