The main lesson that the Senate Intelligence Committee drew from the run-up to the Iraq war was that Washington needs intense scrutiny of intelligence on weapons of mass destruction. Can Tehran wait? http://www.you-click.net/GoNow/a15504a145773a386406792a1

--------------------------- WHISPER: Shrugging off a whiff of scandal Amid the frenzy over who might be brought down by the scandal surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff, it was a little surprising to see who was invited to an event to honor outgoing Interior Secretary Gale Norton late last month.
