From Time, a long and detailed analysis of how Saddam planned the post-invasion insurgency, how it was organized, and how Rumsfeld is failing to fight it effectively:

More than a dozen current and former intelligence officers knowledgeable about Iraq spoke with TIME in recent weeks to share details about the conflict. They voiced their growing frustration with a war that they feel was not properly anticipated by the Bush Administration, a war fought with insufficient resources, a war that almost all of them now believe is not winnable militarily. "We're good at fighting armies, but we don't know how to do this," says a recently retired four-star general with Middle East experience. "We don't have enough intelligence analysts working on this problem. The Defense Intelligence Agency [DIA] puts most of its emphasis and its assets on Iran, North Korea and China. The Iraqi insurgency is simply not top priority, and that's a damn shame."

It's an enlightening and frightening article. In my opinion Time is usually a glossy, superficial rag, but I might change my mind if they keep running pieces like this.
