I’ve just spent the entire day en route home from Beijing, so this will be short.
I arrived to find an e-mail from Wade Boese at ACA pointing out some of the less sane remarks in the Defense Science Board Task Force on Future Strategic Strike Forces Study (Feburary 2004). Wade passes along this passage:
“These deficiencies were reinforced during the Iraq War-we did not find the entire Iraq ’deck of cards’ during the conflict, and we have not found the WMD we know is there, even with teams on the ground.” [My emphasis]
I guess the GOP’s “Big Tent” doesn’t include any epistemologists.
