>>I notice Rich doesn't say "lies" here. How is it useful to insist on that word given how provocative it is and how hard it is to prove definitively? How does that advance anything of value? What is the added value of insisting on intentional deceit over gross errors?<<

Karen -

Is there a difference between making "false intelligence claims" and lying? I believe Rich's point is that the Administration did intentionally deceive the American people.

Scott McClellan is saying the same thing in his book. Today's report from the Senate Intelligence Committee says the same thing, essentially.

It's a shame that the word "lies" provokes such emotional reactions, but I believe the shoe fits.
