<faulty intelligence does not equate to a lie> can you point to any faulty intelligence? Indeed, the intelligence was quite correct: the pros were saying"no nukes, no imminent threat " but they were ignored willfully by those at the top. that story has been repeated and repeated. that you still dont get it indicates that you are either someone of very limited intelligence, or more likely, you wish to deny the truth as it doesnt fit with your political objectives.

Yes, he is culpable, since he rejected the good intelligence that showed there was no cause to invade Iraq and instead had this bogus intelligence manufactured.

The WH knew the "evidence" they heaped on the gullible American public was lies...they did it to start the war to get the oil...face the facts...and Cheney was in on it...that guy will stop at nothing. and that's why ken Lay hasn't faced the music, because he knows how bad Cheney is. "Former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson publicly revealed over the weekend that he was the mysterious envoy whom the CIA, under pressure from Cheney, sent to Niger to investigate a document - now known to be a crude forgery - that allegedly showed Iraq was trying to acquire enriched uranium that might be used to build a nuclear bomb. Wilson found no basis for the story, and nobody else has either. What is startling in Wilson's account, however, is that the CIA, the State Department, the National Security Council and the vice president's office were all informed that the Niger-Iraq connection was phony. No one in the chain of command disputed that this "evidence" of Iraq's revised nuclear weapons program was a hoax."
