Quote of the day, or, The unkindest cut of all

"What the administration got wrong it got wrong because it didn't care about the intelligence. Like certain French intellectuals, it knew the truth apart from the facts and found its own facts to fit the truth." -- New Yorker writer (and Iraq war supporter) George Packer on the Bush administration's intellectual dishonesty in the run-up to the war in Iraq

POSTSCRIPT & FULL DISCLOSURE: Just in case you're new to these parts, I should probably point out that I supported the war with significant reservations myself. And I still do, though, like many other pro-war Dems, I've grown thoroughly disgusted by the duplicitous communications strategy the administration deployed to bring the American people along.
