lieberfoxSen. 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.
