*** Politics/Intelligence
Absolute must-read piece by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker regarding Iraq WMD intelligence. It attempts to answer the question: "How did the American intelligence community get it so wrong?" Short answer: senior administration officials dismantled filtering mechanisms so that they could gain access to explosive but uncorroborated intelligence, which was then used to justify the war.
