Couple of notes re the Intel Memo re OBL and Saddam ...

plus it is helpful to remember it was printed in the Weekly Standard, complete with a Cover Story lead.......The WS has heretofore been proven to be a reliable and pretty accurate source of info...

Notes from the beginning of the memo......
--Intelligence reporting included in the 16-page memo comes from a variety of domestic and foreign agencies, including the FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency. Much of the evidence is detailed, conclusive, and corroborated by multiple sources. Some of it is new information obtained in custodial interviews with high-level al Qaeda terrorists and Iraqi officials, and some of it is more than a decade old.

and......

---Most of the numbered passages contain straight, fact-based intelligence reporting, which in
some cases includes an evaluation of the credibility of the source.
This reporting is often followed by commentary and analysis.

Maybe some is "raw intel", but doesn't look like all of it is, from the introductory notes of the 16 page memo.......

It certainly will be interesting to see what folks like Rockefeller and Kennedy have to say now. Plus all the others that have been so vocal on the Left with the "Lies" comments.
