The problem is that they're changing their opinions based on things that were obvious last March.
Friedman actually is in a separate category, and maybe some of the others should be too: He considered the matter carefully and independently, and decided that there were good reasons to invade Iraq, and then fooled himself into thinking that those were the Bush administration's reasons. That was foolish, but I admit it was not a parrotlike foolishness.
