Apparently the Brits are still standing by their report....so who knows what to believe at this point!

Do you remember the Czech intel report of Atta's meetings with Iraqi intel? The CIA denies it, and continues to deny it. Czech intel has reaffirmed it and continues to stand by their story. In this case, British intel says it is so, and stands by their story. The CIA doubts it, not because it didn't happen, but because they themselves did not see it. So they now have a choice; they can believe their colleagues in British and Czech intelligence, or they can research the issue themselves, or they can just deny it out of hand, and hang the president out to dry.

Something may be going on here, more than meets the eye .

Your post was a good one and the "more than meets the eye" may be along the lines of what Laurie Mylroi mentioned yesterday on FNC. She believes that the administration does not understand the damage that continues to be done by Clintol appointee holders in the State Department and intel community. She said that until they are gone, it's unlikely Bush will get the intel he needs to make his case(s) as the CLinton appointees still love their guy and want to shine up his legacy. (as though that's possible now)
