Intelligence Failures

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Monday, I predicted (not much of a prediction, really, pretty much a
certainty):

----
The fact that
Democrats and even some Republicans are making noises on this subject is to
our advantage, but of course they will try to steer the debate towards
"intelligence failures" rather than deliberate ruling class policy. It's up
to us to grab the rudder and head the debate in the right direction.

And sure enough, just two days later, this from
http://www.thismodernworld.com,
with the following comment from Tom Tomorrow: "Sigh...":

----
Susan Estrich (one of Fox News' Designated Democrats) on the lack of WMD's
(appearing on the show Hannity & Colmes):

What do we do to make this case more effectively, how do we make the case
that--not that we're attacking the President or calling him a liar, but that
we've got a critical problem here in terms of the quality of the
intelligence, that's the way I see it, it's not about calling the President
a liar, it's a question of was our intelligence adequate and if not, why
not, are we not getting our case across?

There's a serious question of "inadequate intelligence", alright, but it's
not in the CIA.
