    "There's nothing perfect about the C.I.A. But these guys in the Pentagon took it a step farther. Their complaint was that the C.I.A. and its analysts were too concerned about analyzing actual facts. What they wanted to do was take it to the next level: let's not just analyze what we actually know; let's make assumptions about what we think, and factor those assumptions in. It really is a very provocative way of thinking. They simply looked at what they wanted; when they saw things that supported the thesis they believed, they accepted them as factual."

    Is spunky working for them? Sounds like his style. :)

    Here's one thing that's been bugging me. You know that footage and the photos of various crowds of Iraqis waving American flags?

    Where did the flags come from?

    And in Basra, were they waving British flags.

    These are the things that keep me from being productive.
