3. also KO just reported that persusal of the entire document

by those with clearance say it's worse than the parts released, in other words, no good news for Junior and crew. Ha, ha, ha. Finally.

4. I would suspect as much...

... there seems to be a strained Pollyanna-ishness to the selections in the PDF, which flies in the face of the main point: we attacked a country that didn't have any terrorism, now it's full of terrorism, and now our invasion and occupation are an easy rallying cry for anti-American sentiments worldwide.

If some of the bad-news material hadn't been leaked, we'd of course never have heard of the document, and even if we had, the "cause celebre" statement certainly would have been expunged.

Ideally, the real assessment will come out....
