Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) said today that he is upset that critics have been questioning the administration’s intelligence on Iran, calling the reaction unwarranted. Lieberman said the danger point learned from the criticism is that the media and politicians reacted with suspicion. I wouldn’t start with suspicion, Lieberman said.
Lieberman also encouraged the intelligence community to push their conclusions further and complained that there has been a reluctance of people in the administration to do so. He spoke out against what he sees as a kind of defensiveness — I dare not call it timidity of the intelligence community due to incorrect judgments made in the lead-up to Iraq.
