Recommended Reading

Excellent (though lengthy) article about intelligence and the Bush White House. Apparently Cheney, Rummy, et al weren't happy with CIA reports that Iraq and Al Quaeda had nothing to do with each other, so they set up a top secret intelligence analysis team to act as an alternative to the CIA.

Fascinating read...

Good article and I actually read the whole thing. Do you know anything about this paper though? I mean, does it have a known political leaning, like The Nation is liberal and The National Review is conservative?

Paca,

I don't know the reputation of the National Journal. This is how they
describe themselves, however:

From http://nationaljournal.com/about/njweekly/

"The Leading Weekly on Politics and Policy

Since 1969, readers with a professional interest in politics and policy have turned to National Journal for coverage that is balanced, insightful and original. As the leading weekly on the policy-making process, National Journal is widely read in all branches of government, in businesses and in the policy community.

Professionals choose National Journal for the beneath-the-surface coverage of the issues, people and organizations that shape our nation's policy. It offers coverage that is unmatched by any other source, and information readers depend on to keep them ahead of the game."

I routinely describe myself as witty, charming, generous, and handsome. Does that make it true? If so, I plan on upgrading my description to include terms such as "non-taxable" and "filthy rich."
