John pointed me to this AP story about former CIA director George Tenet’s new book:

Former CIA Director George Tenet writes in a new book that Vice President Dick Cheney and other administration officials pushed the country to invade Iraq without a “serious debate” about whether Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat.
[...]
“There was never a serious debate that I know of within the administration about the imminence of the Iraqi threat,” Tenet writes, adding that there was never “a significant discussion” about containing Iraq without an invasion.

WTF were they doing in this photo, acting out a scene from The West Wing?

Sure looks serious to me. President Squinty has his classes half-cocked (nullus), Andy Card is pretending he’s there for something other than taking lunch orders, Tenet is blowing smoke up Big Time’s ass (nullus), and Cheney himself is tilting his head contemplatively. IT DOESN’T GET ANY MORE SERIOUS THAN THIS!
