Kay did manage to fire off some last bits of "spin"

Kay clearly has his bias - there's a reason he got his job. So (IMO), it's when his statements are contrary to type, that they are most credible - i.e. he had to become convinced by the data against his preconceptions.

BTW, it was interesting to watch Kay being interviewed by Brokaw on NBC Nightly News. His bias was readily apparent, but he just was unable to find what he had expected. At the conclusion of the interview, Brokaw used Yogi's "Deja Vu all over again" phrase to query Kay if today's Iraq was like Iraq after WWI under the British (smoldering insurrection). Kay, not letting Brokaw put words into his mouth, said that, "Yes, but the Deja Vu is because of my earlier experience in Vietnam", to which he considered Iraq to be quite similar.
