Bush rewards analysts behind faulty Iraq war intel

[via AmericaBlog]

The bigger the screw up, the bigger the reward. Had they only gotten us into a SECOND war based on a lie and killed a FEW more innocent soldiers and civilians they could have gotten a cabinet post:

Two Army analysts whose work has been cited as part of a key intelligence failure on Iraq — the claim that aluminum tubes sought by the Baghdad government were probably meant for a nuclear weapons program rather than for rockets — have received job performance awards in each of the past three years, officials said.

This is in keeping with Bush Administration Major Theme #1: "In order to advance in the Bush administration, you must do something illegal, immoral or at the least, highly questionable."
