I posted the following on a thread yesterday. Unfortunately, I failed to include you, YaYa,McGruff,Leadpenny, meema, Txsleuth --- Lord, I'm going to leave out more great ones.

I see little in this report that has not already been posted on FR by you, Peach, Anita, Fedora, and dozens of other Freepers who research what's out there, analyze it, and reach conclusions that are in many instances a lot sounder than those in the report.
The report tends to "victimize" the jihadists as economically deprived (not true of the leaders) without addressing the fanatical and ultimately oppressive nature of the jihadist movement and its unremitting goal of war without end."
This report reveals the paucity of sound intelligences to understand and delineate whatever intel our spooks can come up with given the limitations imposed on them by politicians who are okay with the Constitution being turned into a suicide pact.
The Political Correctness is strong in this report.
I am not surprised at what you posted...I haven't read the report yet...
But, the main problem at this point is that MSNBC and CNN are only picking out the parts that backup the leaked parts..
I even heard Anderson Cooper go into a segment about it last night saying, "President Bush releases the whole NIE report, but has it BACKFIRED?"....UGH
I tend to agree with what Pres. Bush said yesterday at his presser...that it isn't good practice to declassify and release classified information JUST because of a leak!!
