...different perspective when I visited the country recently. I teach at a Karachi school and visited Afghanistan for a week in October. I went by car, without a guard, and traveled in an area around Kabul. Everywhere I saw people going about their lives, harvesting wheat and putting up hay for the animals to eat in winter. I visited some schools, including one with 5,700 students, who come to classes in shifts starting at 7 in the morning. At no time did I feel threatened.

...simply that he signed off on a speech that contained a claim based on bogus intelligence. It's that he did so three months after his own agency had warned the Brits against making the same claim in their dossier on Saddam's weapons. Democrats looking to make hay from the imbroglio will be asking whether anyone in the administration was leaning on the CIA to endorse the case for war. One question, in particular, that Tenet may have to answer on the Hill is just what transpired during Cheney's visits, reported as "multiple" and "unusual," to CIA headquarters...
