The focus of the panel should be, and may actually have been, on who's got the best qualifications to solve the current situation, and their past positions should be irrelevant.
Why do I think that if the positions were reversed you would not be holding this view?
From where I sit, being utterly, completely and wildly wrong about going to war is a major disqualification for the position of deciding what to do about the aftermath of that war.
That every single panelist was disqualified in that manner is clear evidence that people with better qualifications (ie: they correctly predicted disaster) were systematically excluded.
If a surgeon, through a combination of ignorance, stupidity, overweening arrogance and a refusal to listen to others, removes the wrong testicle from your body .. Are you going to let him go after your other testicle too?
His past fuckup should be irrelevant, eh?
