Did one woman's obsession take the U.S. to war? Read the story by Peter Bergen, someone who actually does know a lot about terrorism, here.
It's well worth reading the article if you don't know about Mylroie and the harm she's done, but I want to briefly note two things related to it. Juan Cole has a post here about the dangers of "think tanks" printing just about anything that supports their beliefs. Remember that there are some good reasons behind the peer-review process. Secondly, the numbers of people involved in the investigation of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9/11 almost defy comprehension. That the Vice President is not taken to task for continuing to say that Iraq was involved in 9/11 after what's far and away the biggest investigation in the history of human existence is an appalling stain on the American media.

The 9/11 commission continues to deny that there is a connection between Iraq and Bin Laden, and Cheney continues to assert one. And nobody seems to want to take him to task for this.
