I would prefer not to use the word lynch. This is an attack on something she did and she and the President have responded. Their charge is essentially that she lied on a talk show. The CIA and the President have been clear that what she said in the talking points.

I understand the frustration here and it should not happen, but this does not sink to the level of the charges Bush used against either McCain or Kerry - and it is not whispered but accusations made in the open with Rice getting enormous backing on her side from the administration.
