Re: " So, does that mean your answer is 'never'?" I take you realize we can't disprove what we know, and so I repeat, if that's the case, of course "never." Re: "Never consider the possibility that our intelligence community fell on its ass? Never consider the possibility that someone, even an underling, 'tweaked' some of the intelligence data to make it look like there were '1400 WMD sites'?" None of that is out of bounds, its just that given what we did know, we had reason enough to go into Iraq even if we knew there were large elements of truth in what you suggest. If you, as you probably have said here like so many others, believe Saddam represented no threat to us worth squashing, I'll suggest you are naive and in the minority. Dan B.
