Things aren't going well for Professor Cole in the blogosphere. He has been denounced by Michael Young and the guys at Across the Bay, he tangled with Jonah Goldberg at the National Review, he earned general contempt for his allegation that Iraqis [like Omar and Muhammed of Iraq the Model] who disagreed with his analysis were CIA plants [they weren't, and talk like that can get people killed]. Just a few days ago he was rhetorically dismembered by the widow of a murdered journalist whose memory he had trashed with allegations of sexual misconduct. Now the dean of bloggerdom, Mickey Kaus of Slate, writes that the good professor [and Fred Kaplan who cites him] "are so eager to find fault with the constitution (and, by implication, the war) that they've lost touch with logic." [read it here].
In the case of Cole, despite his distinguished academic credentials, it isn't the first time nor, I suspect, will it be the last.
