I don't have a lot of patience with people that try to make every single thing about America's foreign policy all about Isreal and Israel's security. But I have even less patience for transparent arguments on Scooter Libby's behalf by people like Alan Dershowitz. Maybe Dershowitz is tone-deaf, but an argument from him about leniency for Scooter Libby plays into every conspiracy theory that our foreign policy has been hijacked by Likudniks. Dershowitz thought Israel's war with Lebanon was a good idea and justified, and now he defends Scooter Libby. What more could he do to justify the position that the neo-conservatives are some kind of Zionist cabal?

He should shut the fuck up.
