I don't have a take on the lab leak debate (from what I can tell there is no good evidence either way), but the question "why didn't people trust Tom Cotton" answers itself
fair qualification, sure
anyway as a fervent anti-imperialist and scathing critic of the Deep State, I know who I'll be listening to on this: Josh Rogin, Tom Cotton, Jonathan Chait, the CIA, and Bill Barr if he can be reached

I'm so old I can remember when Fareed Zakaria got nailed for plagiarizing from the NYT and Time magazine and barely got a slap on the wrist from CNN

let me comment briefly on the Sicknick news, as Glenn (in his characteristically magnanimous and fair-minded fashion) has asked for it washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…
