In comments last week RBP asked about my opinion of Michael Kelly and his involvement in selling the Iraq war.
I've tried several times to comment about it and what I write never comes out with quite the right tone. I think that's true a lot of times when a political opponent dies who was not one of the Bad Guys. I would never write a Thompson-style Nixon obit for a guy like Kelly.
At the same time, I have nothing nice to say about the man. I wish he hadn't died in the Iraq war, but then, I wish that about a lot of people. I think it's best to leave it at that.

Right, I was curious what you thought and meant no disrespect for the man either.
