There is more to this than meets the mind.

People who have generated intel themselves (Powell) have read hundreds of briefing of this sort (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, etc, etc...) supposedly read these ones about Iraq and found nothing funny about them being so sure of everything. They have had reasonably correct intel briefings coming out about al Queda before 9/11 yet these ones about Iraq and al Queda were so damn sure about everything. Also the British shared their briefings with Bush, etc and yet those which did have the doubts included didn't seem different from ours? Didn't send flags up? Why might that be? Their all just really stupid?
