Any doubt about Petraeus' stance?
Petraeus "softened" the NIE judgements?
If he diddled in the NIE, how do you think Petraeus' September report card on his own performance will read?
(By the way, I'd be curious to hear more on this process. It seems a bit out of procedure. We're Petraeus' "softenings" vetted in any way? Were there supporting facts? Were they vetted?
The NIE is a very formal document and process and this seems to go well against the norm.)
The NIE.... met with resistance from U.S. military officials in Baghdad, according to a senior U.S. military intelligence officer there. Presented with a draft of the conclusions, Petraeus succeeded in having the security judgments softened to reflect improvements in recent months, the official said."

similiar to Ford moving Kennedy's back wound to the neck to justify the magic bullet in the Warren Report...
Not really similiar but just a clear example of the audacity of some govt officials to just change the facts to meet their ends...their bizzaro world is reality to them...

Again, not sure how it went down, but this seems to be a pretty clear aberration from the normal process.
