3000 hours of tapes and 40k plus pages of documents are currently (still) under review and John Tierney and Jack Shaw are blowing the lid off the story with their personal “interpretations and insights” from what theyve seen and heard.

At a minimum intriguing. The Bush call to release the docs (despite them not being completely authenticated and reviewed) makes me want to see them released more. (Another premature move by an Admin desperate to improve its poll rankings).

Three differing interpretations:
Paint the messanger Tierney as a nut:

Paint Tierney and Shaw as THE authority on the tapes:

Pinted ala flipityfloppity:

Several sources have commented on powerline and fox reports and i dont feel the need to go into their angles…

…into the fire.
If the tapes truly exonerate the Admin (from “lying”), it paints an ugly, ugly picture of the russians, french, chinese and germans, our intel community and our state dept. (going back thru clinton and Bush Senior) not to mention the futility of the international community under the UN, unscom and the IAEA.

It will also show we failed (to date) in our mission to secure the WMDs and eliminate Al Queada in Iraq.

On reasons Congress supported war with Iraq – remove WMDs and Al Queada and there are no valid reasons. These tapes are very important in exonerating the Congress, as well.

Congress is in the win-win.
