I love how Digg went from being a technology oriented site to a "What's wrong with America" site. I'd be dumbfounded if such topics weren't only the majority, but by a large margin as well.
it might actually work in dems favour that it is delayed, regardless if it blasts the bush administration or not, because now Bush has no ground to stand on when making his claims, because everyone knows that there is a document out there and it is highly suspicious that it hasnt been released yet...
@robbh66: Do us a favor then, and go find the factual articles that are talking about how much good we're doing for the world.Then, go jump into a pool of framing spikes.
I kind of agree with @Dewhead Something very critical like the NIE should be government read only (intel departments, oversight, whitehouse, etc) at first, however as with any material is should be subject to public scrutiny at some point. I feel that even the most valuable intelligence should be released at some point. Pick a point in the future of which all relevant people have read the report and had time to digest the data. Then do the standard redactions for super-classified stuff like if people's lives (agents, etc) are affected.However, the whole political thing should not be considered. If we are so petty as a people, then it is our own downfall. Let the cards fall where they may, but we should be able to see the report at some point.
