Stoopid

This is just fucking stupid. Especially this:

...the memo is not the smoking gun that some liberal politicos and bloggers see. No matter what Richard Dearlove said in the memo about fixing the facts, it was still merely one man's analysis of the situation.

And especially when it is followed by this:

The memo is important not only because it suggests Bush made up his mind well in advance of the actual invasion, but because it undercuts Bush's postwar response to questions about whether he made a mistake in going to war with Iraq

Isn't this precisely what people were pointing to the memo as evidence of? I guess the term "suggests" here is really a team of art here. After all, if it did anything even slightly more than merely suggest that Bush had made up his mind and all that then it would be a fucking smoking gun then wouldn't it?
