Everyone now knows that the CIA’s intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was deeply flawed. (It was a diplomatic and political disaster that Rice and all the other top Bush administration officials relied on erroneous intelligence – though they did so in good faith.) Rice deserves credit for stressing here the gaps and uncertainties in U.S. intelligence – The Corner on National Review Online
The only thing rice deserves credit for is knowingly disseminating bad (some say false, but I digress…) intelligence to the American people.
In other words, A screw up, is a screw up, is a screw up. There is NO justifying it at all. Period.
