Baghdad Station Chief
agrees with
me.
The classified cable — sent last month by the CIA’s station chief in Baghdad after the completion of a one-year tour of duty there — painted a bleak picture of Iraq’s politics, economics and security and reiterated briefings by Michael Kostiw, a senior CIA official, according to the Times.
And as usual, the CIA's assessment - from the ground - differs from BushCo.'s - from The White House and other, secure, unspecified locations.
The assessments are more pessimistic than the Bush administration’s portrayal of the situation to the public, government officials told the newspaper.
The truth is so damned inconvenient...
