Yeah, I was thinking that. The timing given next year's electoral campaign is going to make this one hell of an endgame.

You get to have a Hutton Enquiry of your very own, without anyone getting killed!

after the rumsfeld memo leak (closest we've come to a pentagon papers moment this go-round), the white house needs a scapegoat (still playing 'delay delay delay' on the plame affair)(so either it was someone high up or they're so fucking arrogant they'll let the whole ship go down with the rat) - why not blame the agency who's advice you ignored pre- and post-war (in favor of brit and italian intelligence)(real smart): two birds, one stone!

Tenet in "it's awesome when your boss browbeats you for months and months to lie for him, then has his lackeys hold you accountable for the lie" SHOCKAH!

As noted elsewhere, "the last two prez to fuck with the CIA left office early."
