Fact: Department of Energy experts, including the specific expert who designs and builds centrifuges to enrich Uranium for the United States, "debunked" in 2001 the so-called evidence that Bush/Cheney/Rice and ultimately Powell used to galvanize public and Congressional support for the war in Iraq.

Fact: August 2001 - tubes discredited. All DOE experts on record deny that tubes were for a nuclear weapons program.
Fact: Fall 2002 - tubes magically are used as the "smoking gun" to attack Iraq.

Conclusion based on facts: The intel was cherry picked. Use only the "concerns" about an issue rather than the "reality".

Facts: those involved with the case, including nuclear scientists at the DOE, tried to raise alarms. The nuke scientists were threatened with the law to shut up.
