The Monk won't delve into the idiocy and detachment from reality that marks former CIA analyst Paul Pillar's assertions in a long Foreign Affairs article accusing the Bush Administration of politicizing intelligence and intimidating analysts -- two claims refuted by BOTH the bipartisan Robb-Silverman Commission and the bipartisan 9-11 Commission. Instead, just read Thomas Joscelyn's take down of Pillar.
