The Miami Herald hits Bolton over allegations he pressured intelligence analysts into trumping up Cuba’s interest in biological weapons programs.
As I posted earlier today, Carl Ford testified in 2002 that intelligence experts cleared Bolton’s comments on Cuban BW interests, not the other way around.
As a general rule, but certainly post 9/11, one would think in terms of intelligence estimates on WMD’s, our government officials should air on the side of caution.
Even if the evidence on Castro’s BW interests is inconclusive at this point, he has publicly for decades wished harm upon American interests. Would the American public tolerate a lax attitude toward a fascist regime less than 100 miles from U.S. shores if that said regime were to hit us with a terrorist strike?
