Quick question -- if the guy is so depressed because of having screwed up the analysis of the Iraqi WMD's, then WHY do we have to depend on his evaluation of the Iranian nuke program? Is he the only analyst with half a brain in town?

Don't we have enough generals fixated on fighting previous battles? Now we need to depend on neurotic CIA agents, obviously damaged by having made mistakes in the past? It sounds like the guy should have been fired, rather than being given ever greater responsibilities.
