Sen. Levin tries to refute intelligence

Stephen Hayes fisks Sen. Levin's attempt to prove that there has never been a relationship between al Qaeda and Sadaam. (via Cori Dauber) Like many Democrats, Levin likes to make use of selective evidence and obfuscation to make his case. Hayes reveals the Senator's dishonesty carefully and precisely.

This is still a very controversial area, and it's reprehensible of the Senator to use the power of his office to produce a report that is critical of the administration just two weeks before the election. Especially when he doesn't even handle the data honestly.

So it goes in DC these days.
