Hacking gadflies

Duke, Lynne. “No I-told-you-sos: opponents of the Iraq war voice pain, not vindication, at predications they could only hope would be wrong.” Washington Post, February 4, 2007.

Summary: In short interviews, various early opponents of the Iraq war say that they take no pleasure in having been proved right, but wish that they hadn't been threatened and slandered by gullible war enthusiasts back in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

All these people know how they feel.
