More on Powell's latest

Background here.

A major concern in Washington is that the intelligence is immature and may be as faulty as previous estimates regarding Iraq's capabilities. If the intelligence estimate is confirmed however, than the information could become "clear proof of evidence" on Iranian nuclear capability.

Bush said Powell's statement was a "mistake" while other officials were less gentle, and were reportedly furious that he shared US intelligence with reporters. Powell's statement, furthermore, distressed the three European countries who signed an agreement to halt Iran's nuclear capacity last Sunday.

Just what is Powell up to? Lordy, lordy, what a mess. They first drive mad whom the gods wish to destroy. I think there are a lot of people in this country about to explode.

But, gods and all aside, I like that term "immature intelligence". It perfectly describes what's happening.
