Linked: A video clip of an ABC News report entitled "Iraq War Said to Increase Terror Threat."
The webpage is subcaptioned "The war in Iraq is breeding violent jihad, the New York Times reported."
In this clip the unnamed reporter asked George Stephanopolous to discuss the conclusions of the NIE, and George emphasized and re-emphasized "all sixteen" U.S. intelligence agencies went through the raw data, looked at all the evidence, and unanimously and unequivocally concluded that the Iraq War is making the terrorism problem worse." Significantly worse.
Follow me after the flip:
Later on Sunday ABC softened its reporting and adopted administration spin almost verbatim, apparently due to heavy pressure from the White House, but the original clip is still (momentarily) available and well worth watching.

This news report is apparently an aberration, as it appears to be the only accurate, objective reporting on the National Intelligence Estimate to be found on television to date. I strongly urge you to view it and distribute the link before it disappears down the memory hole.
After you have watched it, call/write/email your senators and representatives and demand that the NIE be declassified and released to the public -- NOW, not after the November elections. NOW.
