But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. Even taken as gospel, this refers to skewing or cherry picking the intelligence around "the conjunction of terrorism and WMD". It never says that the intelligence gave no evidence whatsoever for a) terrorism b) WMDS, or c) the conjunction of terrorim and WMDs, and that therefore to claim a, b or c was a flat lie. In point of fact, the available intelligence supported a and b, but was sketchy on c, with honest disagreements between agents. That is what the piece says. Nobody needed to "lie" about Saddam's WMDS because EVERYBODY, including this author, believed he had them.
