Don't forget both the quality and the direction of the intelligence changed after Bush took office. >>> On the question of ties to al Qaida one can’t say there was a great deal of disagreement within the Intelligence Community, because the White House had real difficulty finding any intelligence professionals who believed that this was true. This, after all, is why administration officials at the Pentagon set up their own intelligence analysis shop --- because most people in the Intelligence Community didn't buy their argument about the connections between the Iraqi regime and al Qaida.<<< Message 19754373 Indeed, intelligence changed markedly once "Pentagon set up their own intelligence analysis shop."
