An intelligent idea?

Photographer: Dean Calma/IAEA On the occasion of his visit to Iraq on a "fact finding mission" the BBC report that "Gordon Brown has said lessons must be learned on use of intelligence in the run-up to war" and that "in future intelligence analysis must be kept independent of politics."

One nice idea might be that when the international community appoints a civil servant with no particular political axe to grind to look into the whole business, rather than agreeing with your ally in a stand up row about the guy's conclusions, you try hard to believe what your appointed on the ground investigator has been telling you.
