Zoosermom, Douglas Feith has an impressive resume of distorting facts to make them seem to support a false conclusion. I’m all for taking in data - but when your data supplier is a man who has willfuly and successfully lied to you before, the principle of “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” comes into play.

Douglas Feith is an embarrassment to the American nation. He is the Republican equivalent of Ken Lay lecturing us on corporate ethics. Yeah, he’s got a front row seat to the problem, but you just can’t trust him not to twist the fact enough so that anything he says can be trusted. (Not to mention a hopefully futile attempt to rewrite history in a way that will make him look good. Or at least, not as bad as he deserves to look.)
