Harman on Iran intel: "I don't buy it. I think it's thin."
Froomkin-

Katherine Shrader writes for the Associated Press: "There are disputes now about the quality of the intelligence on Iran.

"Some officials say it has improved, thanks to soil samples, overhead reconnaissance, old-fashioned spying, information from the IAEA and other intelligence. But not everyone is sold.

"Embarrassed by the flawed oversight in the run-up to Iraq, members of Congress are pressing the Bush administration for details on Iran...

"California Rep. Jane Harman, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said she and other lawmakers were shown the nuclear case that the United States has been presenting to international organizations.

"'I don't buy it. I think it's thin,' she said.

"Based on lessons learned from Iraq, Harman said she would like to know how many sources U.S. intelligence officials have, how confident they are of their information and whether there are any dissenting views."

2. If only we had had that reliable intel on Iran from Brewster Jennings....
Oh they folded and went home, huh? Yeah, that's the ticket.

3. A vast amount of Dems better call them on this, seriously.
And if it doesn't turn out to be bi-partisan agreement, I'm worried...again.

4. Saw Boxer on Hardball earlier - She used the word "LIE" multiple times
See the Dems grow some cajones.

Cudos to both of them!
