A Thorough Indictment
J.D. Henderson really hits it out of the park with this bill of particulars. Go read it. Trust me. Via Kevin Drum, who has more, including a link to an article discussing the contents of the new National Intelligence Estimate. Among other findings, the article observes:

Drum added this observation:
