What the new NIE shows is how foolish it is to take anything the CIA says without healty skepticism. Why is it that the last NIE in 2005 estimated that Iran was still developing nuclear weapons and the new NIE says Iran stopped the program in 2003? Did the CIA not find out anything between 2003 and 2005, when we had lots and lots of people on the ground in Iraq and could have easily infiltrated Iran to gather intelligence?
And BTW, I love how when the CIA is wrong about something it is the President's fault, and how when they are (maybe) right about something, it is still the President's fault.
