Perhaps just me but I found this account extraordinary. It’s also the case that what counts as the history of the event is unfolding still–and will be for many years. It’s not even an onion; it’s rather that as more is revealed and publicized, more changes. Yes, we (the progressives) always knew that Iraq was always the target. But the extent to which that target’s life history was redacted to suit the narrative exigencies of public commissions is enormous.
