Intelligence community wants a "do-over" when, in fact, they were just wrong ( or biased!)

U.S. Considers a New Assessment of Iran Threat
Amid Pressure After Latest Nuclear Revelations, Spy Agencies Rethink a 2007 Judgment That Weapons Effort Had Been Halted By SIOBHAN GORMAN and JAY SOLOMON
WASHINGTON -- U.S. spy agencies are considering whether to rewrite a controversial 2007 intelligence report that asserted Tehran halted its efforts to build nuclear weapons in 2003, current and former U.S. intelligence officials say.The intelligence agencies' rethink comes as pressure is mounting on Capitol Hill, and among U.S. allies, for the Obama administration to redo the 2007 assessment, after a string of recent revelations about Tehran's nuclear program.German, French and British intelligence agencies have all disputed the conclusions of the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, or NIE, in recent months, according to European officials briefed on the exchanges...****The agencies responsible for the NIE are claiming that
"there's new information" since the 2007 report as if they were right then and now merely have to update. Actually, the three authors of the 2007 report, Tom Fingar et al, were biased agents and were WRONG at the time and probably knew it, deliberately distorting the truth for their own political agenda. "The new information" merely demonstrated irrefutably that their supposed conclusions were erroneous; other intelligence agencies didn't believe the report AT THE TIME.It is the POLITICIZATION of intelligence that should be investigated. When one is shown to have lied, you don't give him a mulligan to avoid charges of perjury.****
