A bit of sanity

February 3, 2004 by Michael Boyle

A bit of sanity

brought to the table by Tom Tomorrow about the fallout from the David Kay testimony before Congress and the allegations that Rumsfeld cooked the intel books in the runup to the Iraq war.

…if you’ve paid attention over the past few days, you’ve seen the mainstream media timidly and dutifully reporting the current conventional wisdom–that there is no proof that the Bushies cherry-picked the intel and/or pressured intelligence agencies to tell them what they wanted to hear.
[…]
It’s not some craaaazy conspiracy theory–it’s a reported and substantiated fact that Rumsfeld set up his own intel-gathering unit because he wasn’t happy with what the CIA was giving him.
