#2 There are many times I give a presentation where I omit data and talk to the key points. Rejecting data does not mean it is bad data, just not entirely relevent to the point at hand. Every journalist is intimately familiar with this reality.

Ask the writer of this article how much information he rejected in writing this piece.

#3 The press likes to play up the supposed "conflict" between the Cheny/Rumsfeld/Condi/neo-con/Haliburton "hawks" and the allegedly more "mature, sober, realistic, internationalist" Colin Powell "doves" who are alleged to be struggling to restrain the "cowboy." No doubt there are differences of opinion within the administration, but these people are all on the same team.

John's right, as well--sometimes you leave things out of a presentation to declutter the agenda, and not because you disagree with them.

#4 Damn. I just connected some dots I'm sure everyone else has:

o Iraq supposed to be training al'Qaeda in use of chem.

o Zarqawi in and out of Iraq.

o Zarqawi apparent leader of cells found with ricin

o Zarqawi's safe house raided and supply of cyanide salts found

Is any of that in doubt?
