So I do not believe the deception was deliberate. They did not intend to lie to the American people. Rather, they wanted to prove to the American people that they were right, with little respect for the poor quality of their data. The point is that, however sincere they were, they did deceive. They were just plain wrong. President Bush was just plain wrong. .... But given the Bush administration's propensity to stonewall and cover up and the pro-administration bias of much of the media, a full-scale investigation is unlikely. Don't you see something strange in a column whose first half says, "they were sincere, there was no deception" and whose second half concludes "they will successfully stonewall and cover up"? Cover up what? their sincerity? the "slam-dunk" case that was presented to them by the CIA? As for the "pro-administration bias of much of the media," no comment is needed imo. We have already had two full Congressional investigations, and are not done yet. As for removing those who make such mistakes from office, we have a working mechanism for that - it's called an "election." Bush won the last one if memory serves.
