Everyone Hates Baker Report

Including me, from Defense Tech:

Wow. Everyone -- and I mean everyone -- hates the Baker Commission report. "Group studies Iraq- fails to find clue bag," proclaims the conservative Blackfive milblog. "The report is a dud," sighs the lefty Americablog...

The award for today's most original Baker hate belongs to Defense Tech pal Spencer Ackerman:
Given the specific lineup of the 10 wise men and women serving on the Iraq Study Group, the most conspicuous absence is that of supermodel Heidi Klum. Sure, she has no relevant experience in foreign policy, nor any real knowledge of Iraq -- but neither do commissioners Sandra Day O'Connor, Vernon Jordan, Alan Simpson, or Edwin Meese. What Klum does have to offer is a lesson completely lost on the commission, one taught each week on her hit reality show Project Runway: you're either in, or you're out. When it comes to Iraq, it's good advice.


In or out, I agree. But, aren't we already in?
