Matthew Yglesias posts something we should all keep in a 3x5 card in our wallets, regarding the recent attempt by various Republicans and other supporters of the war to blame the WMD problems on the CIA:

Suddenly over the past 48 hours every single figure on the right seems to have come to a unanimous decision that the CIA and the CIA alone is wholly to blame for the intelligence mishaps. But then why did Dick Cheney need to create an entire parallel intelligence apparatus under Doug Feith dedicated exclusively to explaining why the CIA was underestimating Iraq's WMD capacity?

Kevin has some good analysis here. And all this isn't new news.

As for the CIA, will they really be the fall guy here? With the Plame leak investigation (which they asked for) still ongoing, the CIA isn't likely to respond to the latest round of White House buck-passing by simply laying down, right?
