(2004-07-12) -- The U.S. intelligence community believes that the Democrat presidential ticket of John Forbes Kerry and John Edwards is "a slam dunk," according to a newly-released 28-page report.

Based on a larger secret CIA analysis, the public report claims that Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards, who are also U.S. Senators, have a strategy, ideas, positions on issues and even compelling reasons why Americans should vote for them.

"This evidence is almost as good as the intel we had on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction," said an unnamed CIA source. "A Kerry-Edwards landslide is a slam dunk."
