This one hasn't got a lot of attention from the MSM--probably because of the national fatigue with the machinations of the Bush Administration. On Monday, McClatchy broke the story that a DOD review of more than 600,000 captured Iraqi documents showed no evidence of an "operational link" between Saddam Hussein's regime and al Qaeda. This is a shock, I know. But before you yawn, consider this later development: The study was to have been released yesterday, but at the last minute, the Pentagon decided that it wouldn't be emailed to reporters or put on line; you'll have to write and request a copy. (This, of course, is a lot more costly to a government that's spending two billion dollars a day on the war.) Thanks to ABC, however, you can see the executive summary of the report here.
Why do I find it so galling that, besides being mendacious, vicious and corrupt, these people are also stupid?

Try to make someone read something and they will avoid it like the plague. Tell them it's forbidden material and every eye will read every word.
Clearly they want this document to be one of the most widely distributed and read material about the war.
Yup, stupid is the operative word here.
I'd like to understand why "they" hope the report will become widely distributed if it puts the lie to one of the claims for invading Iraq.
And just who are "they"?
Since stupid people do stupid things I'm not so much galled as even more worried.

"They" are the Bush Administration.
And clearly I need to do a much better job at indicating sarcasm :^)
Now I get it. I'm a little slow sometimes.
Sarcasm, humor and such are hard to get across when only one of the five senses is at work. In the case of emails it's sight, enhanced by imagination, which is usually inaccurate.
