Hey CNN, I got a suggestion for ya!
...change the title of tonight's program "Dead Wrong: Inside An Intelligence Meltdown"....to "Dead Wrong: How The Bush Cabal Deliberately Ignored Intelligence Warnings There Were No WMD's And Went To War Anyway".

Then...I'll watch.

1. No kidding...
though I do think that all this propoganda shifting the blame to the intelligence community is going to backfire in the end. The spies and analysts can't be happy being the scapegoats for this administration's screw ups.

4. Gosh I hope you're right. This BFEE seems to get away with everything!
I'm going to watch though.

2. Don't know whether I should try to watch the damned thing, or not.
Josh Marshall said he heard from a "person whose opinion,I respect" that it's good. He got an advance CD of the show...and hadn't had time to review it for himself as of last night.

I have NO hope that CNN isn't just going to be showing propaganda designed to cast blame in a direction that's favorable to them.

I don't know. I might tape it and just come here to see what other DU'ers feel and watch it later when I won't be throwing things at the TV. :shrug:

5. If it is worthwhile, Jon Stewart will cover it.

6. I know how you feel...
....whether it's this show, or anything else on CNN, you usually want to throw your shoe at the screen most of the time. I'll watch it, the same way I slow down and gawk at an accident scene along the side of the highway, I'll watch it. And then I'll curse the screen repeatedly. It's a vicious circle!!:spank:

3. Outside the US the lies were widely reported
no one thought there were WMDs, and knew that Iraq didn't support terrorism.

7. DING DING DING! Chimpys_Last_Stand, you're our grand prize winner!

That's EXACTLY why I'm not watching it unless I see favorable reviews of the 8PM EST showing. However, I would change its title to "How The Bush Cabal Deliberately Ignored Intelligence Warnings There Were No WMDs And Replaced It With False Intelligence Of Their Own So They COULD Go To War Anyway"!

:headbang:

8. I note CNN emphasized the fact that Tenet was a Clinton appointee

who stayed on in the Bush Administration. But I will reserve final judgement until the show is over.
