So its the back-channel Bush appointees who are apolitical and the professional career intelligence types they are ignoring who are heavily politicized and compromised by ideological preconceptions. So that's how the White House got all that great intelligence about WMDs and
the Al-Quaeda/Saddam connection.

You know, Occam's Razor tells me it was the Bush folks not hearing what they wanted to hear and putting their lap dogs in to feed them exactly what they exprcted, that is the reason the administration is now stepping on its dick so elegantly in the middle east.

You know, SDAI, you are either one really dense conservative, or you're a really diabolically intelligent and evil liberal sent in to discredit the right wing by making them appear complete idiots.
