Rachel Maddow: Condolezza Rice 'jawdropping' and
'astonishing, evasive'

There's one thing that I understand better than I've ever understood before, which is that the Bush administration folks, like Condolezza Rice really think there are no lessons to be learned from then — sending us to war on the basis of a threat that did not exist.  She told you: "You don't get up in the morning and say 'The intellilgence could be wrong.' "
     She's asserting that now — as if there's no reason to ever take a critical eye toward intelligence that's being provided to you when she served in an administration that stove-piped politically convenient intelligence around the mainstream intelligence apparatus in order to get exactly what they wanted in terms of answers.
     She still believes that you can blame anything on intelligence... Those folks still believe they did Iraq right.


Here is the interview to which Maddow referred.
