It's worth remembering, that even after the only column McGrory ever wrote that was somewhat pro-war, she recanted with grace and style.

I remember that Powell presentation too...I was on capitol hill, in a restaurant, watching his presentation replayed. I thought at the time that this was it, that showing the charts and the "we know the wmd is here" presentation, while not up to my standards, would convince most people. And so we went in...

Now, what would McGrory say were she still around? We can only wonder, but I suspect it would echo her sentiment here during the Kissinger flap. She remembered the sins of the past, and lived long enough to see them resurrected. A pity she didn't make it to see them knocked down once again. We will all miss her.
