P.S. - a liberal acquaintance of mine posted the alleged Intelligence reports on Facebook one day, insinuating that those reports were the smoking guns proving everything. I read them. Closely. Combed through them with a fine toothed comb. They did NOT say anything of the sort that he was insinuating - I could not find a single reference to his claims. Either I don't know how to read an intel report, or he don't. I know which way I'm betting on that, but there again I could be wrong - but ain't no one been tossed in the tank for it yet, and it's been long enough that someone should have, by now, if he read 'em right.
Its called "Confirmation Bias", and its very dangerous when trying to find the truth. The reason is that so very very often the truth is not what we want it to be.
