I guess the trick is not to let 1) undermine 2). Easier said than done.

Am I reading this right?

So it’s all Bush’s fault because he’s too secretive in the first place. You see, they had to leak the information. I know how the NYT editorial writers handled bullies in school – by hiding under their desks and inviting more punishment – because …

lot’s of Zarkman stuff in there. And he’s, well, no longer relevant, so to speak.

Ah, JWF, he’s with the 72 virgins now; not, you say, they ran out of them. Then the worms must be eating his nails by now, having had a fest on the softer parts earlier…

The DNI has just released the declassified key judgments of the National Intelligence Estimate. You can download the .pdf document by clicking here. I’ll have thoughts later. Update: The level of distortion by the media of NIE’s key judgments is……

Taking these two disparate issues together, and I find the whole issue rather distasteful. Between the leaks and counterleaks – followed by the declassification of portions of the NIE, we have not learned anything new about the situation in Iraq. How…..

The Iraqi campaign is not elevating emotions among radical or militant groups that did not aspire to elevate their emotions prior to Saddam’s removal and the liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan. When a liberal attempts to use either of those actions as the nexus of militant uprisings against the US, one must ponder the liberal’s sanity or beg the question: all those attacks prior to 9/11 — including 9/11 — were the acts of only mildly inflamed militants.

When you’re a coward, liar, and wimpering simp (two out of three required to possess a Democratic voter registration card), this logic not only makes sense, it will be used to hoist the next moonbat conspiracy theory.

Allah shows the differences between how the NIE was reported, and what it actually says. It won’t happen, but this inconsistency does let the reporters off the hook – you don’t have to protect a dishonest source. Something tells me,……

We assess that the underlying factors fueling the spread of the movement outweigh its vulnerabilities and are likely to do so for the duration of the timeframe of this Estimate.

Anybody know what the timeframe of the Estimate is?

Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves, and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.

I can’t imagine (sarcasm) why the MSM isn’t focusing on the part of the NIE which advocates victory in Iraq instead of “withdrawal”?

You’ll hear next to nothing about this from the hit-and-run media tomorrow.

Oh. Never mind.

In Nevada they pay for that.

In the Washington Post, Robert Kagen writes:It’s too bad we won’t get to see the full National Intelligence Estimate on “Trends in Global Terrorism” selectively leaked to The Post and the New York Times last week. The Times headline read……

This could prompt some leftist, nationalist, or separatist groups to adopt terrorist methods to attack US interests.

that part.

I’m sort of a nationalist, I would guess. I think since America is so multicultural our main strength is our cultural identity- our AMERICAN cultural identity. Are they worried that those who love Old Glory and all she stands for will be using terrorist tactics?

I think you’re right :

are they simply throwing that in to label these Americans as “radical groups?”

Absurd

Anti-US and anti-globalization sentiment is on the rise and fueling other radical ideologies.

“Anti-globalization sentiment?”
That would be me. Are they worried that Americans who are against the North American Union will soon be carrying out terrorist attacks?

Are they worried that Americans in favor of a secure border will be bombing buses?

Hmmm …

Or are they simply throwing that in to label these Americans as “radical groups?”
