You might notice that the memo was written by Undersecretary of Defense
for Policy Douglas Feith. Feith was one of the neo-conservative members
of the PNAC bunch that screamed loudest about Iraqi WMD using previously
discredited "intelligence". He was also instrumental in shutting out
the State Department from all post war planning.

Now that his chickens are coming home to roost he is trying to cover his
ass by dredging up more discredited "intelligence". None of the "facts"
Feith is new and most of it has been found to be doubtful if not
completely false. Even the White House has discredited the memo.

Yep, early on the FBI had proof Atta was in Miami on the days he was
supposedly meeting with Iraqi intelligence operatives in Prague. That
was widely reported in the months following 911.

Gunner's problem is that he believes every harebrained statement by
every right wing rag without looking into the actual facts or the
motivations of the people making the statements. That is what I mean
about "susceptible to propaganda".

I'm not convinced Gunner actually believes all that spew, but he
spews it all the same if it serves his ideological purposes. That
makes *him* a propagandist every bit as culpable as if he thought
up the lies himself.
