Kenneth Pollack, a CIA and NSC guy who favored the war on Iraq, writes a complex analysis of the intelligence failures leading to that war in the current Atlantic.
He argues that the Clinton and Bush Adminstrations based their policy of "regime change" on bad intelligence.
He faults the Bush White House though, for badgering the professional spooks when they did not come up with analyses that jibed with the Bush-Chaney-Rumsfeld line.
Talk about "political correctness!"
Secondly, Pollak says, the White House distorted intelligence to persuade the public to strike Iraq.
Unfortunately, while millions of Americans heard the President's fanciful State of the Union, only a few thousand will read Pollak's article.
