Tyler Drumheller on 60 Minutes
Update: (CBS has video and the transcipt)
I watched 60 Minutes tonight and they opened with a segment about Tyler Drumheller, recently retired European head of CIA covert operations. He made it perfectly clear what many up us have long suspected -- that the Bush administration made the decision to invade Iraq long before they said they did and they used cherry-picked intel to bolster their "case" and suppressed evidence that didn't. The decision was made and then evidence was presented to justify the decision rather than an analysis of the evidence led to the decision.
That's right... they made the decision to invade Iraq (which was technically, legally and ethically a bad one) and then lied about it and yet, somehow, none of the subsequent Republican-led Congressional investigations told us this in the reports. It was an especially damning interview with someone who has pretty impressive credentials.
