A CALL TO ACTION!
More smoke and mirrors!
I have found two more articles which discuss some of the failings of the recent Senate Bi Partisan Intelligence committee report. These articles discuss some of these numerous failings and bias.
The most lengthy and detailed is by Stephan Hayes whom I have written about previously. I know of no one who has a better grasp of the issue of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and its support for terrorism. This article can be found here:

Another article written by Christopher Hitchens discusses the never ending debate about Saddam’s regime attempt to obtain yellowcake from Iraq. This issue was partially behind the Wilson/Plame affair which I have written about previously to great extent. Mr. Hitchens is a very highly regarded scholar and who also holds very liberal viewpoints (he routinely writes for Vanity Fair). He was against the first gulf war (laceName w:st="on">operationlaceName> laceType w:st="on">DesertlaceType> Storm) but changed his mind after visiting the Kurdish controlled northern part of Iraq after that war. One thing that I can say about him is that he is very intellectually honest.

Both of these articles are from the journal “The Weekly Standard.” I highly recommend this publication as I have found it to be very informative and of the highest caliber when it comes to the information provided. In other words they have very high standards and provide documentation with every claim they make.
Most of us are very busy people who have great demands placed upon their time and efforts. That is why it is important to have information that hasn’t been spun or reflects a undisclosed agenda or bias/group-think. Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more obvious to anyone with any intellectual honesty that the Major Media do not supply this. I have found articles from the Associated Press (AP) which the Herald Journal uses almost exclusively, to show clear bias and supporting an undisclosed agenda. I only wish more Americans were presented with both sides of the story and objective writing whenever possible. This would make for a much better informed voter and a government which represents the peoples true interests.
Peace
