Sigh back atcha

I disagree with the report's conclusions about the pressure. The "collective group think" which the agency (CIA) was suffering under, was compounded by the administrations group think, and Cheney's constant visits. I'm glad the commission issued a scathing indictment of the evidence to invade Iraq, and that they found the threat was overstated, but I think Bush and Co had much more to do with it than the committee thought. I feel confident that time will prove me right. Committees don't get everything right, and each new revelation going forward will hurt Bush and his admin that little bit more :-) ah, it's a pleasure to watch the slow bleeding of this administration. They stuck the knife in America by getting her in to a mess, it's nice to see them wounded by their own weapon.

Time after time sources from several agencies reported being pressured. I tend to believe that where there's that much smoke, there's a fire. That some commission members couldn't find the fire doesn't surprise me. Very few people are competent, and even where you have competence, it takes getting the right information in the hands of the competent people. If you have faith that everything comes to light that needs to when a commission looks in to it, more power to you. I'd say that's the kind of trust that keeps Santa alive in the hearts of 5 year olds.
