Also in September, the CIA tried to persuade the British government to drop the allegation completely. To this day, London stands by the claim.

The CIA also tried to get Czech Intelligence to back off its report that Atta had met with an Iraqi spook in Prague, but the Czechs still stand by their story. That could just be the nature of intelligence work, or just the nature of the CIA, or perhaps there is more going on than meets the eye.

A Question of Trust... a flawed claim...

They are clever rhetoriticians... I'll give them that. They are reminiscent of precocious children who imagine that they are fooling you. It's almost fun to watch them do it... to see how far they think they can push their clever little web-spinning before you send them off to bed.

I can't shake the sense that the press has over-reached on this one... by a lot. The viciousness, the single-minded devotion to using the most trivial and asinine arguments to advance an almost ludicrous exercise in hatchet-throwing... is eye-opening.

The lying, the distortions, the almost self-flaggelating desire for defeat that was so evident in their war reporting, now blossoms into a nearly psychotic rant about a line in a speech. It does raise the question: are these people sane?

Flawed claim? The British don't think so. They are standing by that report even today. A question of trust? Time would like to sow such questions, that much is clear. Their reporters and editors hate George Bush viscerally... that much is also clear.

This crusade, this jihad that the press has been on for a week now, over a throwaway line in a speech months ago... is insane. The press corps is so blinded by hatred that they do not see what fools they are making of themselves in public. Partisan? That's only the beginning of what could cause this. Frenzied? Definitely. Lost in a group fantasy? Very clearly. Psychotic? I don't think there can be any doubt after this. At root, the line being advanced by the press this week is a paranoid fantasy... conspiratorial lunacy alleging deliberate lying for the purpose of going to war. Pick your reason why anyone would do such a thing... all of them are paranoid and absolutely crazy.

That we have a press corps that is this far removed from America, from reality, is a serious problem.
