Re: the CIA also said Saddam had WMD.

That is a misrepresentation of history. George Tenet may well have said that the WMD argument was a "slam-dunk", but he did not say that there was unequivocal proof of the weapons' existence.

Note the important distinction I've just made. Tenet said the argument was a "slamdunk", as a propaganda tool. He did not ever say that the existence of WMDs was a certainty.

And most reports from the CIA itself, prior to Bush's illegal invasion in March, 2003, were very nuanced and certainly did not make a plain case for the existence of WMDs.
