Steve Clemons posts on Hardball's Special Report on the CIA Leak

steve has a good rundown of the hardball program which just aired and will air again later this evening...

Chris Matthews is on Hardball right now laying out the case in a Special Report on the CIA leak investigation (and more) that the so-called "Iraq Group" in the White House deceived the Congress and America as a whole about WMD intelligence.

[...]

Matthews asks Levin "how analytically, did the Vice President and his staff look at the evidence regarding going to war, or not going to war?" Levin responded that Vice President Cheney and other key members of the administration IGNORED any evidence that went against their pre-conceived decision to go to war. Levin makes the case that this time around the intelligence community was RIGHT about the absence of any link between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda, and they were completely ignored and side-lined.
