Understanding bosses

Talking Points Memo has a post that should be required reading for all who aspire to responsible citizenship. The post discusses Walter Pincus's WaPo article detailing how two intelligence analysts "responsible for what is probably the single greatest screw-up about Iraqi WMD (the aluminum tubes issue) have received job performance awards in each of the last three years." I wish all the rest of us had such understanding bosses. We'd all be CEOs by now.
