Scheuer: Chertoff knew this NIE was coming. The NIE clearly has information that wasn’t released that is more detailed about why they think that the threat is growing … I think Chertoff is a good enough bureaucrat that he wouldn’t have been giving us his gut feeling if there wasn’t something behind it. He doesn’t strike me as a kind of off-the-cuff guy. I think he kind of thinks about things before he says them … and I think he’s one of the least – this is my view at least – suspect members of this administration. Q: That’s damning the man with faint praise. Scheuer: It’s a terrible business for me because I have been a lifelong Republican and I feel heretical every time I open my mouth, but I don’t know what else to do.
