Salon.com - The new Pentagon papers

Dear MoveOn member,

Salon.com has just broken a major story detailing how the Pentagon created a special office to manipulate intelligence data on Iraq and WMDs. It's written by Karen Kwiatkowski, a military officer who watched this unit at work, telling us the inside story in her own words.

In all sincerity. These folks are touting the word of a "retired Lt. Colonel" (read: she got bounced involuntarily) who spends half the paper telling you how amazing and over-qualified she is. It is not very difficult to imagine that she feels jilted in being forced to retire (believe me, she was) as she obviously believes she deserved better.

Talk about a recipe for a bitter and spiteful woman. Not to mention this particular conspiracy theory doesn't even fits all of the other conspiracy theories groups like Move On are citing. Are they abandoning all contradictory conspiracy theories???

Stuff like this has a way of discrediting groups that obviously just want to throw mud in regards to offenses committed wether real or imagined. The only people likely to be moved by this are those who are solidly against Bush anyway. This is going to persuade noone and has an aura of fiction start to finish.
