The neocons ride again

Forget 'empiricism,' say the neocons -- let's go with what we 'know' about the Iranian 'regime.' They're the Bad Guys, part of the Axis of Evil, and therefore we don't have to stick too closely to the facts to justify bringing about regime change. We don't need 'evidence' -- what the heck is that, anyway? -- all we need to do is cherry-pick 'raw' intelligence and cook it up into a kind of polemical goulash, which we can then sell to the politicians and the American public. These people, who should be in jail for lying us into invading Iraq, are instead being empowered to repeat their crime. Will they get away with it, again?
