No Blame. All Game. A tale of brief intelligence...

The report of a president's Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction comes out bad for BushCo. But who is to blame? The problem with the above statement is that there is no blame, unless you follow the old GOP standby: Blame Bill Clinton. Figures.

Op/Ed columns and new analysis stories all have their questions, and rightly so. Somebody has to pay the piper for being "dead wrong" on WMDs.

USA Today ponders: What the report didn't say...: "The report didn't attempt to connect the intelligence failures to the fateful decision they encouraged: to go to war on what proved to be false grounds."

The Washington Post asks: Who Gets Held to Account?

Good question. The point is that those who commit the gravest of errors get medals while falling down on the job. Some slam dunk. What intelligence? We can blame an elusive and abstract group like "the intelligence community" or we could not blame anyone at all. In the meantime, people are dying with no end in sight. Where I come from, if somebody lies about something and another person is hurt or dies, then the liar is held accountable as an accessory. Am I right?
