More Evidence of Anti-Bush CIA Employees

The American Thinker has a great post on the latest CIA leak that divulges parts of a National Intelligence Estimate report regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions. According to the article in today's Washington Post, Iran is still a decade away from being able to build a nuclear weapon, which contradicts earlier U.S. and international evidence stating otherwise.

Apart from some of the problems that American Thinker points out, including the release of only selected portions of the report, I have another question:

The media has blasted U.S. intelligence for its lack of information both leading up to 9/11 and the Iraq War (not to mention North Korea's bamboozlement of Clinton's failed containment policy, which the media likes to forget), why would anyone listen to a few sentences leaked from an intelligence report?
