The NIE’s latest report is not a vindication of anything for which George W Bush would receive credit. Quite the contrary: it is evidence of a “shadow government” operating independently — and against — the Commander-in-Chief during wartime.
p>The purpose? To shift the focus away from national security — the Democrats’ greatest vulnerability — for the 2008 election. br> — Arnold Ahlert br> Boca Raton, Florida /p> p> Before we think through the political implications of this National Intelligence Estimate, let’s consider the source. The CIA has done everything it could to undermine Bush since 9/11. Valerie Plame actually worked in their WMD nonproliferation office. Her boss, who thought sending Joe Wilson to Niger was a swell idea, is still there. Why should we trust anything they say? Indeed, we should assume that the only purpose of this NIE is to embarrass Bush until proven otherwise. br> — D.M. Duggan /p> p> SUBMARINE SOVEREIGNTY br> Re: Peter Hannaford’s
