So I was thinking the other day about the report the CIA put out saying that Iraq may not be as big a threat as we thought… at least currently. Immediately, all sorts of people jumped on it as the reason for why action against Iraq was wrong-headed. It was heralded, lifted-up and praised. What I thought was odd about this is these were the same people who were mercilessly criticizing all of America’s various intelligence agencies after the 9-11 attacks. With one favorable report, the CIA went from being backwards, inept, and ineffective to being spy masterminds!
