From the Washington Post.
An article from a CIA employee who was stationed in the middle east during the 1983 Beirut bombing.
Will Lebanon's Horror Become Iraq's?
Excerpt:
"Iraq today is probably worse off than Lebanon was in 1983. There is not even the skeleton of an army or a police force. Members of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council now claim they warned us of a bombing, possibly aimed at the United Nations. But don't forget the council includes some of the same people who were telling us that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction, deployed and ready for his orders. The only intelligence in Iraq that we can count on is our own."
I would disagree with the last sentence. With the Bush administration laying waste to any credibility we can't even trust our own intelligence any longer.
