Clinton's Press Sec On McClellan

There's an interesting read at Huffington Post, as Clinton's well-trampled, Monica-era press secretary, Mike McCurry, gives his views on Scott McClellan performance under pressure, the media's behavior and the Plame affair.

Excerpt:
Unless conversations go well beyond what has been reported, there has to be some other explanation for the zeal with which this investigation is being pursued. Something consequential must have happened because of this leak that we have not yet read about. That's about all I can imagine, because otherwise the whole thing -- leak, story, investigation -- seems a little disproportionate. Maybe a major intelligence operation got botched. Or someone took a real hit somewhere in the world as a result.
