"Knife in the back, indeed." Ignatius is a wannabe elitist...Look at this paragraph. No proof. No names. No numbers. How do we know it was even one person that said whatever????

The whole article is ripe with non-proveable statements...not that he cares. Other media will take whatever he says, and run with it, pretending it actually news. For instance:

Negroponte has inevitably concentrated on the small islands he actually controls within the intelligence archipelago -- the daily briefing of the president and the top-level analytical group known as the National Intelligence Council.

Observers say that has led to crisper analysis of political options in Syria and Iraq.
>>>>>>>Observers?????Who are they? Come on, Iggy......

But some worry that Negroponte is so linked to the White House that he may politicize the process.
>>>>>>BUT SOME????? who are the "some"
>>>>>> "is so linked<<<< Really????What proof of that, specifically???
>>>>>> "that he may politicise... MAY? MAY? MAY? You're leading, counselor.


They cite the DNI's release this month of excerpts from a letter allegedly written by al Qaeda strategist Ayman Zawahiri just as Bush was making a major speech on al Qaeda terrorism.
>>>>>THEY CITE???? WHO is the They in your back pocket????

Revealing the letter made sense, despite questions about its authenticity, but not as a prop for a presidential speech.
>>>>>"Revealing the letter made sense".....How BIG of you, Iggy...
>>>>>> "DESPITE questions about its authenticity..." REALLY....and your proof is? WHAT QUESTIONS, and who is doing the questioning, Iggy?
>>>>> "But not as a prop......" Again really, Iggy....

How clever of you to know all the answers, and all the innuendo...
