Tyler Drumheller - How many more will there be?

First off, great story. Though I don't think it will have any affect on the kool aid drinkers. And the swiftboating of Drumheller will undoubtedly be in full force.

What strikes me is the high level he's attained in the CIA - head of covert action in Europe. What some of the kool aid drinkers tell me is that the Scott Ritters of the world were too low level, and that there was some dissent regarding WMDs but that it was too low level and that the overall intelligence that bush acted on was still favorable toward military action and that bush therefore acted appropriately. Obviously not the case with Drumheller. But what we're seeing is, like the generals trashing on Rummy, is that we won't see them speaking out in public until these guys retire, for fear of retribution.

Might we have more to look forward to in the future?

1. How many more HAVE there been?
There have been dozens of people who have walked out of meetings with this White House flabbergasted with what they have witnessed.

The question to me isn't "How many more will there be?" The question is "When will the USA start listening?"

2. "When will the USA start listening?"

Well that's what we've been asking for years now. The good news is, more people are starting to realize it was a war based on crap, and shrub's approval ratings show it.

There's still some 30 odd percent who still don't get it. Don't think you CAN get through to those people...
