Another Intelligence Report

So the NYT ran this story yesterday, citing an intelligence report by the DIA which claims that most of the resistance in Iraq was planned before the end of the war.

This report may or may not be true. However, keep the follwing in mind:

--"While the report cites specific evidence, other important assessments of American intelligence on Iraq have been challenged and even proven wrong." An important caveat, but not a falsification of the report.

--Saddam's military was never trained to act independently. Again, this fact does not mean that it is impossible that said report is not accurate.

--The NYT, while acknowledging that US intel has been less than stellar, quietly ignores the fact that the Paper of Record itself has been wildly inaccurate concerning that little matter of Ahmed Chalabi, Judith Miller, and Iraqi WMD. More importantly, the NYT has never issued any corrections or apologies, and the publisher has even publicly defended Miller.
