    It's worse than you think

    As this B.S. is disseminated, all the "qualifiers' get stripped out. The Dallas Morning news says the NYT and WaPo contributed to their report, but no mention that "there has been debate among experts about the extent to which Iran is responsible for instability in Iraq", Instead, the info was generated from "interrogation reports".

    and, ya gotta love this (forgive the transcription)

    At a news conference, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said there was no hard evidence that Tran was allowing weapons to come into Iraq.

    But al-Dabbagh called reporters later to clarify his remarks, which he said were misinterpreted.

    "there is an interference and evidence that they have interfered in Iraqi affairs" he said in an interview arranged by a U.S. official. When asked to characterize the proof of Iranian weapons, he said: "It is a concrete evidence."
