Yes, Even More NIE Discredit
It is like God Almighty is leading me to voices in Internet pundit land that tell things about the latest National Intelligence Estimate relating to Iran. The more I read these pundits the more I am convinced that the NIE has become rogue following its own perceptions of Foreign Policy instead of its boss the President of the United States.
Melanie Phillips has some information about the three main authors of NIE. She describes them as “hyper-partisan anti-Bush Officials.”
I presume “hyper” and “anti” mean no matter what actual Intelligence turns up, it will be written in such a way to discredit President Bush’s agenda to promulgate American National Interests merely because the Bush Administration currently has it stamp in managing foreign policy.
