Yes. And in particular, when you bring on analysts, have them analyze facts, not speculate about things that might be facts. https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/1110942260592607237 …
I'm generally in favor of more rigor, but of course TV interviewers can never be experts on everything & are thus easily snowed by, say, former CIA directors who claim to be able to project what evidence a non-public investigation has discovered. Hypothetically.

Or like the run-up to the Iraq war. Hypothetically. I don’t mean *government* experts—I mean independent experts from civil society. Guv gets its say and then should be interrogated.

What "expert" would you have turned to on Iraq? Virtually every critic of the war in 2002-03 either 1) had been loudly & demonstrably wrong on every foreign policy issue for the prior 20-30 years and/or 2) had zero experience & no access to classified intel.
