...stretching it to say there was a silver lining in 9/11 for Middle Eastern Americans. But it did get them America's attention, and not just on cross-country flights. Save for the occasional terrorist or sheik stereotype, the pop-culture profile of this growing group had been almost nil. You might know that F.

Often in criminal cases, and especially in those involving perjury, jurors like to hear the defendant explain his actions personally. But Libby would no doubt have been cross-examined harshly, and Cheney might have been embarrassed to explain publicly his role in undermining Wilson's criticisms...
