Senate Republicans are planning to call for a congressional commission to investigate the conclusions of the new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran as well as the specific intelligence that went into it, according to congressional sources.


This has become a pattern with the war whore wingnuts. They get an intelligence estimate they don't like, then call for a group of outsiders (e.g., Paul Wolfowitz) to look at the same raw data. VIOLA! The "TEAM B" concludes that the threat of X is much greater than the estimate from the intelligence agencies.

They did this in the 70s over the Soviet threat, in the mid-90s over the ballistic missile threat, and in 2001 over the threat from Saddam. IN ALL 3 CASES, TEAM B WAS WRONG!!!
