What astounds me is just how wrong some of the "intelligence" and reporting about al qaeda in Afghanistan was, and how that fact hasn't been addressed to this day. Officials went on the news saying that there were these huge bunkers in the mountains filled with all kinds of crazy shit. And ridiculous numbers of soldiers hiding out. None of that was real, the reality was a small handful of forces hanging out in completely unimproved rugged terrain. But no correction was issued, no critique of the government officials who perpetrated these ridiculous claims happened, we've learned nothing.
