#1 It's this kind of faulty analysis based on wishful, BDS thinking that has led to the New York Times' long term loss of market and market share. And of course, with the resultant downsizing of reporting staff everyone has much more to do with much less support, the poor darlings.

#2 Analysts were burned pretty badly during the run-up to the war in Iraq, said Representative Rush Holt, a New Jersey Democrat who sits on the House Intelligence Committee.

Intelligence analysts didnt get burned during the run-up to the war. The whole Faulty Intelligence charge wasnt shouted until after the Kay report on WMD. It makes you wonder which analysts he is referring to. Oh thats right
Now I remember ole Rushback in 2005, he sponsored no less then five house resolutions requesting the President and Secretary of State transmit to the House of Representatives all documents relating to the disclosure of the identity of Valerie Plame. As well as directing the Secretary of Defense, CIA Director, and Attorney General to do the same. Seeing how there was (and is) an ongoing federal investigation into the matter, all the resolutions were dead in the water from the
get-go.
I can see why the NYT would want to quote this guy regarding what the GOP "say".
