administration’s false intelligence claims One can blame false intelligence on a mistake but the word 'claims' takes it into deception territory - falsehood meant to deceive. Whether one calls it a lie or not is moot. It's possible Rich used 'false intelligence claims' rather than 'lies' to make it sound more authoritative and less tabloid. It's fairly clear AQ wanted the US to get involved in an unpopular war in the ME. That Ibn al-shaykh the top AQ member in US custody was thought by the DIA "to be describing scenarios to the debriefers that he knows will retain their interest". That the administration would rely on sources that even the CIA nicknamed 'curveball' for unreliability is quite telling. That this administration bit hard on false intelligence claims is not hard to fathom if one follows the money as Bob likes to put it.
