#1 Bush released this to demonstrate how WaPo and NY Slimes cherry picked it.

After the release, CNN, MSNBC both continued to cherry pick the document, totally ignoring the favorable text.

#2 As predicted yesterday, Instapundit has an early review:

While we should fire the leakers on general principles, we should probably also fire whoever wrote this -- for producing a meaningless document full of empty bureaucratic twaddle. If the jihadists win, they'll have more prestige! And they will probably use the internets! Do tell. Jesus Christ, if this is the quality of intelligence we're getting, no wonder we haven't won yet.

Bush should let this be used as an impeachment of the CIA to justify reductions in its funding and the creation of new, effective intelligence agency(ies) in its place.

#5 NS, the sad part is that is representative of the intelligence we are getting. There is a LLL Mo0nb@+ culture in CIA and State that views everything through a We hate Bush and We know better prism. I bet the only good work is being done with the three vilified programs: Interrogations, phone monitoring, and bank monitoring.

#6 This morning the local television news anchor announced that this had been released, and that anyone who is interested can go look at it. There are enough people who will, I suspect, to kill this the issue aborning. The proof one way or another is whether the MSM continues to talk about it for more than a few days.
