Bell Curve of Intelligence

Submitted by LDC (United States), Dec 12, 2006 at 15:48

The Iraq Study Group results--coming from a geriatric, hodge-podge of once luminous minds--illustrates the point (somewhat sad to me as I am on the cusp of old age) that there is a bell curve to intelligence that, for many, begins to slope downward in the later years. The Iraq Study Group is collectively on the wrong slope of that bell curve. (Plus, their collective experience of war fighting is not impressive.)
