Marshall on the Nose Again

Once again, Josh Marshall has hit the nail on the head in his latest posting regarding the WMD scandal. David Kay seems to think the CIA owes Bush an apology; but what really does Kay know? What we have here is a serious intelligence failure, but one that in itself would almost certainly not have Marshall on the Nose Again

Good Question

Josh Marshall asks the following really excellent question on his weblog, Talking Points Memo: Should an advisor to the Pentagon be pocketing a fee for helping to raise money for a terrorist organization?
