makes perfectly good sense to me that Rice would not be conversant with every technical dispute over intelligence.

Certainly, but when pushing an important point forward, the defining point which was used to commit the country to War, she most certainly would know both sides of the argument.

The discussion on this point is not very complex, certainly obvious since millions of NY Times readers can understand the points.

Do you not think that they would have spent at least 10 minutes briefing her on nuclear capabilities (or lack thereof)? Roughly the time needed to skim the basic facts, including the serious doubts?

She knew.

And her clear attempt to skirt this on the weekend proved it to me at least.
