Oh, and btw, Clarke says Congress DIDN'T have the same Iraq intelligence

(once again, thanks to think progress...)

Bush officials had access to reams of raw prewar intelligence data that Congress never saw nor had the opportunity to verify:

What happened was that Congress got the finished intelligence that said these things. They didn’t see all the details. … They don’t get the raw information. They don’t get the [forged documents purportedly showing Iraq sought uranium in Africa]; they get the answer, you know — “the uranium going from…” — but they don’t get the information that it’s based on.

i remember vividly watching richard clarke's testimony before congress, live on cnni, while i was in macedonia... the hair on the back of my neck stood up, chills ran up and down my spine, and, several times, i had tears in my eyes... such was the impact of, finally, hearing truth being spoken... i well knew what kind of risk the man was taking with one of the most vicious attack machines in history ensconced in the white house ready to pounce... i am glad to see him back in the public eye... he's one of my heroes and my respect for him is enormous... how ironic that the latest info he has to share comes via the daily show...
