Well, the truth is that I'm not sure why our intelligence agency is publishing anything. Shouldn't they be giving that information to Bush first, instead of surprising him? Or did they give it to him and he deliberately hid it, because it didn't fit with his hard line plans for an Iran invasion? I'd put nothing past him.


Bush said he heard a couple of weeks ago; people are seriously questioning that.

Don't quote me on this, but I heard the reason for the release of the info was because there was a public policy debate wrt Iran and they felt that the truth should be a part of that debate. Which is hard to argue with. And also good CYA; if the NIE comes out after we go to war the press (and public) would toast the agencies.
