1. Unfortunately...

The AP story seems to be burying the fact that the CIA =did= object to the inclusion of the Niger story, but was talked into allowing it, way down at the end. :(

2. Reminds me of Kosovo ...

The CIA identified one single target during the entire 'conflict' ... and guess what ... it was 'mistakenly' the Chinese embassy.

Whoopsie!

3. Confidence in what?

Confidence in NOT telling him everything he needs to know to make decisions regarding American men and women's lives?

4. Oh Pat them on the Back for taking the Heat!

Cheney is awful quiet! And where is the Outrage Bush

These people are Freakin crazy if they think this is gonna quiet things down.

5. Tenet

Bush had to find a fall guy; it has been looking for awhile as if the CIA would be it. They have had plenty of leaks, but now what can the agency do since their boss has admitted he's to blame. These Bush freaks have not one honorable bone in their stinking bodies. With these cretins the buck never stops at the top.
