But he wasn't unpatriotic. Moreover, he was correct about the War on Terror and Iraq. Compare his foreign policy views to David Frum's, and then tell me: who comes out looking better on the geopolitics of the past decade?

I learned world politics by reading Gigi Geyer, Evans & Novak, George Will, and many, many others. I learned Chicago politics by reading Mike Royko, Studs Terkel, and many others. For me, the tipping point with Evans came when he "outted" Valerie Plame, a crime I believe was treasonous. I wrote him and told him exactly that, and was not surprised when I received no response. From that point on, I'd glance at his columns, but never again believed anything in them. When Hunter Thompson would inject himself into the stories he was writing, it was funny. Outting an undercover CIA operative because of a personal grudge wasn't at all funny. I still believe Robert Evans committed treason against the United States.
