for the record, I came over to alert folks here to this (upcoming) piece, but didn't have to because scott had just posted it... As the leading serious independent Iraq hawk, Pollack had quite a hole to dig himself out of when no significant WMD were found after the war, and I (along with many others) was eagerly awaiting what he would have to say about the issue in retrospect. well, now we know, and personally I think it's an outstanding article--just as smart and honest as his prewar stuff. imagine what kind of a world it would be if all public discussion of serious policy issues were like this...

PS out of curiousity, can anyone think of any other player in the Iraq debate--on any side--so publicly and frankly admitting to having gotten important stuff wrong, and trying to draw honest lessons from the experience?
