Fascinating how many people have no interest in receiving information from outside their comfort zone.



That’s the biggest laugh. Heeding Doug Feith’s justification of the decision to fight the Iraq War would be akin to listening to Ken Lay (were he still alive) talk about why investing in Enron would still be a good idea.

And you have the gall to suggest it’s because people don’t have an open mind? I think loss of credibility justifies skepticism. You are saying have an open mind towards a notion – as long as it agrees with what I hope is the case – and forget the credibility and position of the person who is delivering it.

The fact that Feith is saying this actually recommend for our ignoring it altogether. I was never able to fathom why Georgetown hired Feith to teach there. This diminishes Georgetown, as far as I am concerned.



Mr. Feith’s 5 point assessment is backed up by the referenced:



Mr. Feith was chastised by the Senate for his slanting of intelligence.

Tommy Franks, according to Plan of Attack, says of Feith: “I have to deal with the stupidest f***ing guy on the planet almost every day.”
