…gets beat over the head like a mushy headed idiot by Cassandra at Villainous Company.
She quotes the Bi-Partisan Senate Select Intelligence Committee Report:
Wilson’s assertions — both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information — were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report. The panel found that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson’s assertions and even the government’s previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush’s January 2003 State of the Union address.
AND, there’s a lot more. Go and read it all.
I would also say that critical thinking courses should be _required_ in schools of journalism. Probably way too much to ask. Way.
