The fascinating part is everyone did an about face on it overnight after the WSJ article.
We went from Facebook banning mention of the theory to everyone being certain it's right on the basis of "national security flack says someone who works at the lab was sick, during flu season".

The WSJ author had brought us other CIA-approved gems about WMDs in Iraq once upon a time. You might be onto something with garden-variety liberals feeling 'free' to try and blame China now that Trump's out of sight, though.

Michael Gordon also wrote [2], which reported on the Bush administration's claims that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons.
