2840 Democrats' cherry picking
That's what I've heard Republicans say about focusing on one item, the strawman they set up, in the huge report about the intelligence that preceded the war. Well, Captain's Quarters is actually reading the report, and provides links. He had some analysis by p. 16 that showed Joe Wilson a big liar, but the Dems didn't lead with that story, did they?"The Senate Select Commitee on Intelligence Phase II reports may take some time to process, reading the source data rather than just relying on the conclusions, but I've found one interesting nugget already. In the WMD accuracy report, a significant passage demonstrates the falsity of one leftist talking point (page 16, emphases mine):"
I opened the first section--151 pages, and peeked at the second, 211 pages, which seems to be posturing by the committee members. I wonder if anyone but the staffers ever read these? What gets rolled out for the media is really skewed. It says pretty clearly that all this mish-mash is based on material gathered after the war.
And all this smoke screen at a time when the Democrats are threatening ABC's broadcast license if they run the docu-drama about the Path to 9-11. Powerline includes a list of the terrorist activities just during the 90s. It is what it is.
