When the Joseph Wislon/Valerie Plame affair broke, I half-jokingly suggested that Mark Kleiman, who had many detaiils of the story not only right (as time has begun to prove), he didn't even start out as a true believer. Mark was skeptical until events coalesced around only one reasonable solution... but was out there first and has continued to update the story in both a meaningful and web-centric way...meaning you don't get bored reading his work and it's to the point. To his crediit, Mark does attribute his first knowledge of the story to Kevin Drum at Calpundit, and while that may be true, Kevin has not kept up the level of detail that Mark has on a regular basis.

A Pulitzer for a Blogger? Maybe not this year (but we could hope), it sure would change the opinions of some MW's if they truly knew that a well written blog with no axe to grind, was willing to publish a truth they wanted to bury in exchange for a nickname or a ride on AF One.
