After the trumpet blast, a yawn

So, President Bush will declassify the National Intelligence Estimate that was leaked yesterday, to an accompanying chorus of rent-a-generals and spontaneous coordinated outrage from the chattering classes. Bush suggests, as do others who have seen the whole document, that the conclusions recorded in the NIE are not nearly as dire as had been suggested. Will Bush, Rummy, etc. get a chance to say "I told you so," or will this simply be an Emily Litella moment and the results published on page G27 of the NYT and the Post? Place your bets, everyone.
