According to your theory, it wasn't an accident. He was bribed by a foreign power into telling the truth! No, he was bribed into lying. It was certainly a lie when he began to tell it. What isn't an accident is that we were lied into war We weren't "lied" into anything. Do you think that if France knew it was a "lie" they wouldn't have been all over exposing it? They wanted to stop the war! They had accepted millions from Saddam to stop the war! They would have made billions if they had succeeded! Why didn't they say it was "lie"? Because they thought it was true, too. Everybody did, for good reason. Saddam worked hard to make everybody think he had WMDs, and he probably did, too. The very generals of Iraq thought he had WMDs. So the deception was on the other side. The CIA didn't lie, it was deceived. Bush didn't lie, he used the intelligence he was given. But that doesn't make a good campaign slogan, does it?
