Remember, an investigation that doesn't result in findings of guilt is a "witchhunt":
Ms. Lewis played a central role in the Whitewater witch hunt (seven years, $70 million, no evidence of Clinton wrongdoing)..but an investigation that doesn't result in findings of guilt is a "whitewash":
(Yes, the Hutton report gave Tony Blair a clean bill of health, but many people -- including a majority of the British public, according to polls -- regard that report as a whitewash.)
The fabulous mind of Paul Krugman, folks.
Also, remember, if one doesn't like a report's findings, one can ignore it:
True, Mr. Kay still claims that this was a pure intelligence failure. I don't buy it:...but if one does, then it must be true:
a report from a the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has issued a damning report on how the threat from Iraq was hyped, and former officials warned of politicized intelligence during the war buildup.
Still Paul Krugman, folks.
