| #4 many involved in drafting and approving the NIE were not intelligence professionals but refugees from the State Department Ahh, the State Department. *That* interesting tidbit explains quite a bit about the overall lameness and deception involved in this NIE. Now that he is no longer at the UN, maybe Mr. Bolton could serve as our ambassador to State? |

| #3 I heard on NPR the new NIE is based on a single intercepted phone call in Iran. Not much to base a volte face on. |

| #2 Rush Limbaugh had a caller from the intelligence community call in and made some excellent points: Apparently it's in the assumptions - They stated some very bogus assumptions and then everything flows from that. The caller said the assumptions are very misleading and very easy to miss. She also said if any regular analyst had stated their assumptions in this way, they would have been raked over the coals. Basically this whole thing stinks. Al |

| #1 Too bad Bolton isn't willing to name names. Not enough Bolton spice to change the flavor of this State Dept crap soup now being pushed by the WaPo, NYT, CNN et al until election day. |
