Judith Miller: biolab" weapons trailers

* from hersh's article: "The Pentagon adviser said that, in the event of an attack, the Air Force intended to strike many hundreds of targets in Iran but that “ninety-nine per cent of them have nothing to do with proliferation."

* arkin: "Contrary to all the speculation this week that all U.S. contingency planning for Iran is about quick, surgical action short of war, both the Army and Marine Corps are newly looking at full scale war scenarios."

* "A U.S. lawmaker on Tuesday fumed that the Bush administration refused to divulge anything about a security review it is conducting of a Dubai-owned company that is planning to take over several plants in the U.S. that make equipment for defense contractors." (link)

* Ron at raw: "The Washington Post's article Wednesday which "reveals" that the Bush Administration used knowingly bad intelligence about Iraq's alleged "biolab" weapons trailers was questioned before -- by the New York Times' fallen WMD wunderkind Judith Miller.
[]
Miller has been accused by critics of hyping pre-war intelligence that supported the Administration's case for war -- and sources in the Times newsroom have said one of Miller's primary sources was John Bolton "

* emptywheel suspects that Judy's biolab trailer story had more nefarious goals.

* larisa: "BrewsterJennings is bigger than Plame and Plame is mid-east, specifically Iran. "
