flimsy

i don't know what surprises me more, that the maliki government is calling out the bush administration for not backing up its charges against iran with any actual evidence, or the fact that a mainstream media outlet is actually taking a critical look at the administration's flimsy case against a member of the "axis of evil."

and as cernig points out the administration's "proof" that iran is behind the EFPs doesn't even withstand a casual google search. indeed, the administration's claim that EFPs must come from iran because iraq doesn't have the industrial capacity to build them is directly contradicted by the numerous news reports of the u.s. military's raids on EFP factories inside iraq.
