Actionable intelligence

This CNN summary of this CBS story strikes me as the unvarnished truth.

  • Saddam needed WMD to survive in a rough neighborhood.
  • He wanted WMD.
  • He didn't have WMD.
  • He knew he couldn't stand and fight against the U.S. military, but he was caught between us and Iran.
  • Duhbya is different than his father or Bill Clinton, and Saddam didn't figure that out in time.
  • Saddam was a bad, violent, self-aggrandizing man.
  • Interrogation works.
