I'll tell you what's inappropriate.

So the Inspector General's report has found that the Pentagon pushed inaccurate intelligence conclusions in the build up to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. But these were not "unauthorized or illegal," just inappropriate. What the hell is that about?

I mean, I understand that the law is a tricky and fluid thing. But what the public excerpts of this report say to me -- reading between the lines, of course -- is that the DoD cooked the intelligence but it's okay because someone higher up told them to do so. And that's what is really inappropriate.

Absolutely ridiculous. And the President's statement that his new intelligence director will stop anything like this happening in the future? Even more ridiculous.
