Hey CF! The liberal media conspiracy reaches out! As a long-time follower of global warming and the random science-by-petition "counter-theories", I'm impressed to see that coming from Fortune. I'm even more impressed to see them bringing up thermohaline circulation, which is the somewhat arcane tidbit I always look for to see if people have any depth on the subject. Cool, as it were.

Neglecting Intelligence, Ignoring Warnings A chronology of how the Bush Administration repeatedly and deliberately refused to listen to intelligence agencies that said its case for war was weak January 28, 2004 Download: DOC, PDF, RTF Former weapons inspector David Kay now says Iraq probably did not have WMD before the war, a major blow to the Bush Administration which used the WMD argument as the rationale for war. Unfortunately, Kay and the Administration are now attempting to shift the blame for misleading America onto the intelligence community. But a review of the facts shows the intelligence community repeatedly warned the Bush Administration about the weakness of its case, but was circumvented, overruled, and ignored. The following is year-by-year timeline of those warnings. 2001: WH Admits Iraq Contained; Creates Agency to Circumvent Intel Agencies In 2001 and before, intelligence agencies noted that Saddam Hussein was effectively contained after the Gulf War. In fact, former weapons inspector David Kay now admits that the previous policy of containment – including the 1998 bombing of Iraq – destroyed any remaining infrastructure of potential WMD programs. americanprogress.org
