Rules of Evidence

The Senate Intelligence Committee released two reports today. The first one includes a section on Saddam's ties to al Qaeda. I think the only way to characterize that section is "pure garbage." There was no honest attempt made in the report to weigh and consider the evidence of a relationship between Saddam and al Qaeda. None at all.

I quickly composed a piece for The Standard on this. And I mean quickly.

I realize, of course, that this intelligence issue is almost purely a political partisan issue at this point. That's unfortunate because little of what is being written, including this more recent report, has any intellectual honesty at all.

There will be more on my blog later and throughout the next week as well.
