It's impossible to know how true this report is, of course, since the NIE itself hasn't been leaked. The reports are based on what sources claim the NIE says, but we don't know who those sources are and what motivations they might have. Since their spin coincides rather conveniently with the argument made by Democratic critics of the war, and since this leak has also conveniently sprung in high campaign season, wise readers will be skeptical.

"Wise readers" should also ask why the White House is refusing to release the document. Their given reason doesn't sound very creditable given the Phlame fiasco. Not to worry, someone will leak it..........if anything, the people inside the administration seem to be more concerned with its behavior than those of us on the outside.
