The most important context for
this:
An intelligence official and a member of the Bush administration both
told me in interviews that the neoconservative leaders who had recently
assumed power at the Pentagon were warning the White House that the
C.I.A. had been fooled; according to this theory, Bin Laden was merely
pretending to be planning an attack to distract the administration from
Saddam Hussein, whom the neoconservatives saw as a greater threat. Intelligence
officials, these sources said, protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an
Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi
secularist, was ridiculous, but the neoconservatives’ suspicions were
nevertheless carrying the day.
is
this:
Out of Romney's 24 special advisors on foreign policy, 17 served
in the Bush-Cheney administration. If Romney were to win, it's likely that many
of these people would serve in his administration in some capacity -- a
frightening prospect given the legacy of this particular group.
