1) Aside from the JL notes, what are you adding that hasn't been parroted already in the blogosphere? A day late and a dollar short it seems to me.
2) I would not point out or link to ilherman's post, which is potentially incendiary, lacks a basis in fact, and in light of the latest development seems wide of the mark.
3) I like "Taking a neutron bomb to deal with a fight at a soccer game" better than "Why use a nuclear bomb to solve a problem that a sharpshooter could take care of?"
