history of Feith's stupidity

Lefty blog First Draft presents a series of historical posts on the idiocy/criminal maliciousness that is Doug Feith, with the purpose of reminding people that waaaaay back in 2003 people were already trying to call bullshit on his intelligence cooking. Not that anyone really noticed.

Has a link to a book Special Plans: The Blogs on Douglas Feith & the Faulty Intelligence That Led to War, which collects blog posts on the matter. Also includes:

People like ABW, who put together an exhaustive timeline of all Feith's missteps and mistakes in a Kos diary, such that you can go all the way back to 1996 to see how this mess got started.

People like Matt Yglesias, who put the blame where it really belonged, on the Congress that did absolutely zero oversight of anything Feith and his cronies were doing.

People like Jack K at The Grumpy Forrester who brought home why what Feith did isn't just some silly insider Washington issue.

And the post finishes with the funny line: "the history's worth knowing so the present mound of bullshit makes sense."
