Today’s must-read post is Dan Darling’s overview and analysis of the Senate Intelligence Committee Report. A (very) brief excerpt from a very thorough interpretation:

In general, this document is a lot better than that Staff Statement No. 15 that was churned out by the 9/11 commission. One other thing to be mentioned, incidentally, is that this report specifically undercuts some of the 9/11 Commission’s key findings with respect to Iraq and al-Qaeda. It cites post-1999 contacts between Iraq and al-Qaeda, which the 9/11 commission claims to possess no information on. Perhaps someone should hand the commission members a copy of the Senate Intelligence Committee report?

Sounds like an idea. I’ll bring the coleslaw.
