Thought for the Day

Four years ago in the press for the war with Iraq, the Bush administration maintained that the Iraqis had the technological, machining, and engineering capability to indigineously produce long range missiles, enrichment centrifuges, and nuclear weapons.

Yesterday, the Bush administration claimed that the Iraqis don't have the machining capability to produce the moderately technical EFP's they claim are coming from Iran.

That's quite a shift in estimates, eh?

(I'm not arguing that IED's aren't coming from Iran, but these two statements really say alot about the manipulation of intel. Stolen from Patrick Cockburn.)
