It is amazing, the parallels here, to Watergate. What's amazing is the level of effort you are putting into distorting the facts. CIA analysts, as a whole, and George Tenet, were willing to accept the British assertions that this was credible, genuine intelligence. So they permitted it to be put into the speech with the caveat that the information was derived from British sources. And those British sources just happened to be wrong. Think about this the next time you are told a fact by a friend of your is "gospel" and you relay it to others.. And then see if you deserve to be accused of intentionally lying to those people when your friend sheepishly apologizes and tells you that the information was completely false. Lord, how many times have we said things to others based upon what we believed was credible "hearsay", only to find ourselves eating crow later on?? But it doesn't mean we were intentionally lying... So why don't you tone down your "amazement" just a tad.. Hawk
