The Official 2008 Iraq NIE from the National Intelligence Council has not been formally released to the public. However, they didn't realize there was a way to reconstruct the still-classified Iraq NIE using open sources.

This information, relying on open sources, will attempt to create the 2008 NIE; and provide commentaries.

DoD academics have an interesting following. Some are discussing taking over civilian blogs, using them to spread domestic propaganda.

DoD is missing the point of blogs: They're a forum for people to share ideas, however convoluted. Rather than attempt to corrupt bloggers to secretly support DoD, DoD fails to organize a credible plan. We discussl.

We previously commented on Harman's reported reactions. The comments below deconstruct Harmon's written statement released relating to Bush's Law. There appear to be some problems warranting follow-up. We discuss.

Today we're reminded the FBI discovered the NSA's illegal wiretaps within hours. Indeed, the lawyers were so concerned the program was illegal, senior lawyers advised leaders against signing the warrants.

However, Hayden during his Senate confirmation hearings for CIA Director left the opposite impression: He thought the actions were lawful. Hayden's asserted beliefs about the legality of the activities belie the legal community's explicit rejection of that program's lawfulness. There does not appear to be a reasonable basis for Hayden to have asserted under oath that he believed the surveillance, program, or warrants were lawful.

It appears, contrary to Hayden's assertions under oath, his belief had no basis in fact.  Legal memoranda was hardly controversial, but explicit: The activity was illegal. There appears to be a material inconsistency between what we've learned about the FBI discoveries and what Hayden told the Congress under oath. When will Congress revisit Hayden's testimony for alleged perjury?

We're told the FBI-related personnel "stumbled" upon the NSA's illegal activity withing "twel've" hours. Then when did the President know about this discovery to block DOJ OPR and DOJ IG from reviewing the NSA activity; where was the FBI referral to the NSA IG, DoJ IG and DOJ OPR when FBI-connected personnel apparently did not follow-up on this illegal activity? Many questions about the timelines, notifications, and what really blocked the reviews.

A former WH counsel has been allegedly caught viewing emails. Wonder where they got that idea?

CIA director Hayden claims Pakistan is the best ally in the "war on terrorism".
NATO allies were already feeling the pinch.
Is Hayden admitting Iraq, where the United Kingdom is assisting in operations, is unrelated to this war on terrorism, but is in a civil war?

NSA director Hayden made comments about "new" recruits. However, the NSA fails to specifically identify people who are supposedly being recruited.
This comment discusses the flaws with the NSA assertions, and outlines issues warranting fact-checking within the intelligence community

Face the Nation highlighted a key McCain comment about listening to others.
Is this a real promise about US policy toward Iran, or a nice sound bite to sway DNC members to the GOP?
