Dark Suspicions about the NIE by Norman Podhoretz
But I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. This time the purpose is to head off the possibility that the President may order air strikes on the Iranian nuclear installations...In the face of definitive evidence, the neocons respond with audacity, conflict, misdirection, and contempt for anything other than their own ideological beliefs. Does this sound familiar? Is there any president in recent history that might also take this same stance.
Suspicion alone is clearly enough of a reason to go to war. We are not talking about a tug of war, we are talking about thousands and thousands of deaths and strife beyond belief. Call it what it is, unconscionable hubris.
One more thing - what exactly were those leaks that were calculated to undermine George W. Bush? Don't tell me that its Iraq had no WMD? That's not a leak. That's the way it is and was.
