So did he. That's who his sources are, as you would discover if you read Hewitt's interview of him.

Ricks has an agenda. And he draws absurd conclusions.

A Washington Post writer has an agenda, but a GOP fundraiser doesn't? OK, then.

I find your post ironic, because just by reading left wing blogs, magazines and books you think you are an expert on domestic security, how the department of Homeland Security is run, and how we should screen for terrorists.

Here's a hint: That's not irony. Look it up.

Please find me evidence that Iraq's WMD program survived after Operation Desert Fox. As you may have heard at one of your GOP functions, we invaded Iraq and discovered that there were no WMD. (For those of us in the reality-based community, it's not news anymore.) Although we didn't know it then -- a claim you incorrectly seem to think Ricks made -- we now know that Desert Fox was instrumental in ending those programs. This has been reported elsewhere -- it's not like Ricks is the first person to say it. But when I refer to it here, reality-challenged conservatives like you always ask for a cite. The next time it comes up, I can search the board instead of Googling.
