I feel like we're picking and choosing which Cassandras to uphold. I keep hearing soldier after soldier talk about how they feel they're making a real difference over there, and a lot of people over here don't seem to want to listen to that dissent, either.

The CIA Bahgdad station chief isn't some government desk weenie job. In fact, it is a very important assignment and only a seasoned and talented professional should be given such an assignment. Unless you want to argue that either of these men were unqualified I can't understand how you can condone the fact that their arguments/opinions were essentially ignored. Alan,

Not to defend the administration on their decisions in this war, but ignoring dissent is not always a bad thing. Ever wonder how much BAD advise the administration also ignored?
