Did David "Jump The Shark"?
David Brooks writes in today's NY Times here, that he thinks Harry Reid, Minority Leader of the Senate is more than a little ridiculous in his belief in conspiracy theories regarding the war. Mr. Brooks, like many on the right these days, want to dismiss the call for a full investigation into the leadup to the Iraq war. He contends that not only did Bush think Saddam had WMD, but so did Clinton and the Europeans, including the French and Germans.
Harry Reid sits alone at his kitchen table at 4 a.m., writing important notes in crayon on the outside of envelopes. It's been four weeks since he launched his personal investigation into the Republican plot to manipulate intelligence to trick the American people into believing Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
As a responsible journalist, Mr. Brooks also knows that the CIA had additional information indicating that Saddam did NOT have WMD, yet that information was ignored or pushed aside by the White House. He does not bring that up. David is certainly aware of that. Was this information presented to the Senate? Did Harry Reid have access to that intelligence as well? For him to only present one side at this stage makes him exceedingly disingenuous. In fact, it makes him more of a cheerleader for the White House than a believable columnist. He reminds me of the TV shows that "Jump the Shark" where they lose credibility and start the long downhill slide. Maybe we should nominate him to our White House cheerleading team?
