If you've been following events in Iraq, then the publicly released, declassified version of the NIE is a bit of a thumb-sucker. But it's supposedly the unvarnished consensus of the 16-agency intelligence community, with added input from outside experts - and it meshes well with the president's new plan.
(Indeed, the report's delay stems from the support the intel agencies were giving the White House as it developed its new strategy.)
