Watching the fur fly

This article from the NYT, relating in detail the last-weeks-before-the-war overture/capitulation by Iraq (essentially an unconditional surrender) that was conveyed to the Pentagon but not accepted by the US is going to create a firestorm of outrage. From the depth of the investigation, it looks like the NYT has got the goodies on the maniacs in the administration who have now killed thousands when it was likely all could have been avoided. Powerful stuff.
As intriguing as will be watching the administration try to squirm out of this one, will be observing the finger-pointing. From the tenor of the story, it looks like CIA finally put the kabosh on Iraq's overtures. But I'll bet, given the rift between the CIA and the other branches of government, that they won't take it lying down.
Stay very tuned.
