Time to Start Reposting Old Intelligence Stories

A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY

Dear Buzz,

Few in the media seem to recall some pertinent stories from late 2002. How convenient for the Bush administration!

Reposting such stories will help to remind us that they can’t use the excuse that their intelligence was faulty.

Here are a few links that still work, which I found thanks to your archive.

Thanks for all you do,

Warren
