And more lying,

From Pincus, FIRST PAGE even:

The former CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East until last year has accused the Bush administration of "cherry-picking" intelligence on Iraq to justify a decision it had already reached to go to war, and of ignoring warnings that the country could easily fall into violence and chaos after an invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Paul R. Pillar, who was the national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia from 2000 to 2005, acknowledges the U.S. intelligence agencies' mistakes in concluding that Hussein's government possessed weapons of mass destruction. But he said those misjudgments did not drive the administration's decision to invade.

The effect of this in the press should be summarized in one, ironic word:

B-O-O-M!!

But it won't of course.

For god's sakes, CNN hasn't quite run enough coverage of the nerve gas attack that never was and Britney Spears parenting habits.

That is truly what they think the people need to know.
