Is Dana Priest really Kathleen Madigan?
Edited on Sun Sep-11-11 08:55 PM by sfpcjock
I love her anyway. This is a must see Book TV with her and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Feith">Douglas Feith who directed the Bush "Office of Special Plans" inside the Pentagon--a stand-in for the CIA who Rummy felt he couldn't manipulate easily enough.

Douglas J. Feith is a former U.S. Undersecreatry of Defense and one of the neoconservative "masterminds" of the failed Republican War in Iraq.
Official Lies

Feith played a central role in preparing the bogus intelligence used by the second Bush administration to march an unwitting America into the War in Iraq. In issuing a report describing Feith's role, Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that he would ask the panel to take "appropriate action" against Feith. Levin described the Jan. 15 communication from Feith as part of a pattern in which the Defense Department official, in briefings for Congress and the White House, repeatedly described the ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda as far more significant and extensive than the intelligence agencies had assessed. The report said that a classified document prepared by Douglas Feith, the undersecretary of defense for policy, did not accurately reflect the intelligence agencies' assessment of the relationship, despite a Pentagon claim that it did.

Rewarding Bureaucratic Deception

Astonishingly, despite his role as a principal in one of the worst blunders in U.S. international affairs, Feith was handed a four year contract worth $.5 million to serve as a "distinguished professor" at the National Defense University, a DoD graduate school.

1. Best quote ever by our military leadership
General Tommy Franks, who led both the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan and the Iraq War, once called Feith "the dumbest fucking guy on the planet."
