NPR: Schorr trashes prewar intelligence

[Qutzupalotl]

Daniel Schorr on NPR today has a damning piece on the misuse of prewar intelligence for the predetermined end of invading Iraq.

Schorr quotes a 1992 memo from Wolfowitz that says it's about oil!

Of course, that was "old" Iraq...

1. More than just that

2. I knew the crap would have to start flowing downstream,

and now it is. It's about time. I know some here at DU were not sure this WMD intelligence mess would stick, but I think it is finally going to hit the fan!!

4. Daniel Schorr is a great journalist and a courageous man.

He's one of the very few who were closely involved in covering the Kennedy assassination, for example, to state publicly and unequivocally that the whole thing smelled like a conspiracy.

This is a truly gutsy guy, and it's too bad that his forthrightness has marginalized him in his old age.

We should honor him for his life's work.
