I was wrong about being wrong

Scratch that David Kay may be a more honorable man than I thought. He's arguing that the intelligence community owes the president a great apology for misleading him on WMD.

A) I think the evidence is rather clear that this administration picked and chose (very carefully) what intelligence they wanted to believe, and then spun it accordingly B) the president deserves no apology; but the families of the 500 plus American soldiers and other coalition soldiers who gave their lives, the thousands of Iraqi civilians who died too, and the many thousands on all sides wounded deserve more than an apology. They deserve a full investigation.

On this matter, at least, Britain has shown more balls than we have. But I've yet to see much come of it except the suicide of Dr. David Kelley.
