So you think the media is giving you a well-balanced dose of the news. Does this sound important?

"Faced with a U.S. invasion of Iraq, President Saddam Hussein would likely launch missile and terrorist attacks against Israel and U.S. facilities abroad, preemptive strikes against the Kurds in the north, and a 'scorched-earth strategy' in Iraq 'significant enough to stop a military advance...' the Defense Department's top intelligence official said yesterday. Vice Adm. Lowell E. Jacoby, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Senate intelligence committee that he expects Hussein would destroy Iraq's food and water supplies, and its transportation, energy and other infrastructure, creating a humanitarian disaster that would occupy the attention of U.S. troops trying to reach Baghdad and Iraqi military units."

The Defense Department’s top intelligence official?. This sounds like a very important analysis about which the American public should be informed. Where can you find it? It's buried on page 18 of Wednesday's Washington Post.
