Thanks. When Bush said, "Our security will require the best intelligence", he probably had no idea how bad was the intelligence on which he relied. He might however have known that people around him had their minds made up and only used "intelligence" to press their case for war. Bad intelligence. Bad policy. Bad intent. Bad judgement. Things that begin badly have a way of ending badly.

>>>> The doctrine of coercive pre-emption

The links to the original documents mentioned by Steinbruner:

Thanks for the links to the original documents, rather than somebody's spin on what they "say".

I noticed that the word "coercive" didn't appear anywhere in the three cited links, but appears a total of 17 times in Steinbruner's text. He clearly has a fetish for that word !
