Trumping up the scare factor
The House Intel Report (PDF) is part of the apparently coordinated effort to exaggerate the threat from Iran. As Matthew Yglesias, guest blogging at Talking Points Memo, points out, the chart from the report (above), purportedly showing the range of Iran's missles, shows them being fired from Kuwait, not Iran, and includes two ranges (the two larger circles) for missles that do not exist.
I'm sure CNN and MSNBC and ABC and CBS and NBC will helpfully point that out to their viewers when they show this graphic.
