What a total idiot....the allied entire intelligence worldwide, for 2 administrations believed the intelligence was good, not only from the CIA, but their own.... This guy wants to reinvent the wheel....The Congress had the info as well as the Administration. Did the entire Congress and the entire Administration believe it was faulty intel???? Isn't hindsight terrific? 'How the administration used the intelligence was very troubling,' Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, said in an interview this week. 'They took a flawed set of intelligence reports and converted it into a rationale for going to war.'

>>"The "Lord Butler" report, an official inquiry by former British cabinet secretary Lord Frederick Butler, goes public on July 14. It reports a wide range of concerns about intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, reports the Financial Times. The MI6 intelligence inquiry is expected to assert, with British understatement, that "the intelligence to substantiate the claim was of insufficient quality, and that the intelligence material gathered on Iraq was generally inadequate," reports the Financial Times."<< Ish's buddy needs to contact Lord Butler asap. This report should not be issued without his invaluable input.
