the more independent verifications of classified information given to bad guys gives them more confidence to act on it and expend less resources to verify it

Yes, I accepted that. I also recognize that the distraction of this discussion is not helpful. And that any challenges to Bush make him look weak to their minds. All those are problematic. I'm not suggesting otherwise, just wondering about the scope.

With this particular type of information, one would assume that they would have maximized caution about how they communicated even without confirmation. I would think that the effects of this confirmation would be marginal, at most a couple of cat whiskers, not a whole cat. It's not like they learned something brand new.
