The ISG: an ‘amorphous, equivocal grab bag’


Fred Kaplan on Slate essentially backs me up with his interpretation of the Baker commission report:

The report of the Iraq Study Group — which Baker co-chaired with Lee Hamilton, that other Wise Man-wannabe — was doomed to fall short of expectations. But who knew it would amount to such an amorphous, equivocal grab bag.

I like “amorphous, equivocal grab bag.” Nice ring.
