Good post, Swopa.

I think you and I disagree about what the meatgrinder is (remember, Libby was setting up Cathie Martin to leak this in June, not July). But I’ve always argued that blaming CIA on meatgrinder is a feint.

(P.S. I’ll do my own version of getting into the weeds on what the real “meat grinder” was — and the evidence to support it — sometime over the next few days, probably as Seminal diaries.)

Chin-ee is the abusive alpha male, who expects America to thank him for the abuse …

Let’s just say that I think Emptywheel chose the wrong metaphor for her initial post on the interview…
