mjfdl, they didn't have to pressure the intelligence agencies. Bush and company set up an office in the Pentagon called OSP, think it's called Office of Special Plans run by the neocons that MADE UP THE INTELLIGENCE TO JUSTIFY THE INVASION OF IRAQ This was an office operating outside the intelligence community and outside of Congressional oversight. Who needs to pressure anyone when you can make it up as you go.

They said thy 'knew' Iraq had WMD. They lied. They didn't know at all. They said they had proof. They had no proof. If they had admitted that they didn't know then America would not have gone to war. They could not stand for that. They had to have their war. So they told the big lie. They did not know, they had no proof and in the end it was patently obvious that the bits and pieces of things they had pinned their hopes on were also all lies. The big lie was built brick by brick with all the smaller lies. The smaller lies were 'bad intel', but the big lie was not bad intel -- it was willful deception.
