AROUND THE WEB

Why Oh Why Can't We Have a Better Press Corps?

The Wall Street Journal editorial page strikes again. Eliot Cohen says that it is time for "Plan B" in Iraq. But then he refuses to tell us what his favored "Plan B" is. Instead he calls for an "honest debate."

What good can possibly come from somebody who demands that somebody else come up with "Plan B"? Particularly since he begins by saying "It will be important in future years to settle whether the Iraq war was the right idea badly executed, an enterprise doomed to disappoint, or simply folly. There will be individuals to be held accountable... and institutions whose shortcomings require not only soul-searching but reform. That's for later"--in other words, "please don't make the people that I and my friends supported for so long come clean now"?
