10. Two most interesting ones from Joyanna
It's the old 80%-20% conundrum again. We dig about someone, we find out a lot, we form an opinion, then a down-to-earther worth everything in the world to a serious pundit, just comes out with it:

It's too easy not to go that extra 20%, esp. when a generalist.

8. Well we knew this anyway
I was reading this when I recalled an episode of 'Yes Miinister' from the '80s - The Whisky Priest I believe it was called (appropriate for todays headlines), It seems that the script has been well-used!

Some quotes:
"The MOD has only released a portion of its assessment to Declassified following a freedom of information request. It is not clear whether the intelligence was shared at the time with ministers.
Dr. Liam Fox, who was defence secretary during the war, told Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee in 2016: 'I do not recall reading any reports that set out the background of any Islamist activity to specific rebel groups.'
Fox was responding to a question from the committee about whether he was aware that members of the LIFG were participating in the rebellion. "
"Lord William Hague, who was foreign secretary, told the committee: "Libyan leaders themselves did not have a deeper understanding of what was happening in their own country" and so "it is probably wrong to expect somebody sitting in the backrooms of the Foreign Office or Vauxhall Cross [MI6 headquarters] to know better than they did.""
"General Sir David Richards, Britain’s top military officer during the intervention, said Whitehall’s knowledge about the extent of LIFG involvement in the rebellion "was a grey area." He told the committee "in a perfect world, we would have known it all” and that “we were suspicious and beginning to build up our understanding during the campaign."
Lying B*****ds the lot of them!
