tonto, when Bush is provided with a intelligence report, a good leader would ask for verification. In fact he should have that practice already set in place.

Now look at the styles of Clinton and Bush. When Clinton had Mansoor Ijaz tell him that Sudan is willing to turn Osama over and gain bargaining points, Clinton needs to verify whether Sudan really has Osama under its control. And then if the info is false, you ignore it. (The Bushies are saying Clinton let Osama off. How do they know. Bush cronies are not privy to intel info, is it?)

Now comes Bush. A few Iraqi dissidents such as Ahmed Challabi deliberately provided false info for reasons that are obvious. And the Bushies just acted on it without any verification.

So the famous Reagan adage "Trust but Verify"
