Dean was poisoned
In DC sniper shooting case. When Lee Boyd Malvo was arrested, he kept his mouth shut up. But in an interrogation a week later, "Malvo was talkative, smiling, even bragging in response to indirect questions from investigators, sources said."(S.J.M.N.) The police interrogating him thought Malvo's testimony didn't make sense and was exaggerating. It was a typical phenomenen that Malvo was medicined (or in another word, poisoned) by something to talk. Under the influence he was forced to talk as much as he could, even exaggerating. It was possible an excitant or something unknown for outsiders which force the victim losing control of mind, behaved unusual and doing something exaggerating. It's a tactic intelligence used to do to squeeze information from target.
Howard Dean is a target of insider group because he is the one who fiercely anti-war. Dean lost Iowa primary. His rate from the leading one dropped to the third place, (16% vs Kerry's 38%) It was unusual, consider 75% Iowa voters are against war. It can be viewed as poll result was manipulated by intelligence.
And to suppress Dean more, they seemed using same tactic to vilify Dean. Dean likely was poisoned by some excitant or something influencial on his sentiment in the meeting before Iowa Primary. Media (which are under stronghold of inside group) took the chance to propaganda Dean was "lunatic", "crazy"....
Intelligence covert work was largely used in campagin if you still remember Water Gate scandal. Especially by inside group who controls Feds. Here is another recent report:
