Something Wild: Like David Henderson, I was puzzled by the White House response to Seymour Hirsh’s revelation that the Bush administration is actively considering a nuclear strike against Iran. I assumed it was designed to sound like a denial while being nothing of the sort. According to David: “When you use such non-message, meaningless words repeatedly, it erodes credibility in anything you might have to say. In fact, it feels slightly desperate and exposes the spokesperson to criticism.”
