One point it seems to me that Pollack, as a CIA guy himself, skated around: that if the Bush people distrusted CIA analysis and wished to bypass it, there was much in the agency's track record that could cause reasonable people to feel that way. Distrust of the CIA is not, in itself, enough to label someone as an ideologue who only wishes to see evidence that conforms with his own worldview. Has Pollack ever commented on the writings of Robert Baer?

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?

Rumsfeld?
