Intelligence Report
Dean
I haven't read the actually report on the nation's intelligence services yet. Anyone know where to find it? The news reports haven't been all that promising, looking like they're trying to find scapegoats rather than give an honest evaluation, but I sense that may be press spin more than reality. The Washington Post's story is fairly well balanced, but others have been all over the map.
An important thing to understand is that intelligence is never 100% accurate, and much of intelligence work involves weighing your best guesses and estimates against each other. Demanding 100% accuracy is impossible and is likely to produce disastrous results. But you can't let people evade accountability either.
I'd really like to read the actual report.
* Update * The Indepundit has an excellent analysis.
