CNN is finally starting to acknowledge the DSM stink, albeit indirectly...

The fourth link down in the 'more news' headline column deals with the newest revelations, specifically the idea that the British doubted the adequacy of our postwar planning 8 months before the invasion. Implied by that claim, of course, is the implicit fact that the British knew we were going to invade 8 months before we did. The Minutes are also mentioned briefly, but only for the purposes of context.

So, not only is this getting some (indirect) front page attention, but hey, it's even one link above the habitual 'Dean Inexplicably Attacks Cute, Harmless Republicans' link. That's progress of a sort, right?

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- A staff paper prepared for British Prime Minister Tony Blair eight months before the invasion of Iraq concluded that U.S. military officials were not planning adequately for a postwar occupation, The Washington Post reported."
