JOE KLEIN IS STILL WEIRD

Klein notes that Obama asked some good questions of Petraeus & Crocker but then describes one of them this way:
But Obama's question was more diabolical. He was saying, Hey, al-Qaeda's on the run, and Iran is probably more interested in harassing the U.S. military than having another war with Iraq. How much better does the situation need to be for us to leave? He had taken Joe Lieberman's dart and beaten it into a plowshare.

"Diabolical" is clearly the wrong word and has a negative connotation, "penetrating" would've been a much better choice.
