<In other words, officials used a "worse case" scenario that was not based on actual intelligence.> This is the hallmark of the political contortions you can expect whenever "intelligence" is manipulated to justify an ideological foreign policy. Many who post on this thread exhibit a willingness to believe pure fantasy -- at least some of that acceptance is due to a sense that if you buy into the ideology, it is fair and correct to do anything necessary in the pursuit of that ideology, including lying and killing innocent people. This war is a war of belief, not a war based on facts and intelligence. If you "believe" in the ideology, you won't let the facts get in the way.
