I'd guess, to the degree that the CIA actually tried to bash Bush, that is was payback for trying to blame the prewar hype on the CIA when in fact it should have been laid much more on the Administration. So they say now. Somebody has to pay for such an intelligence failure, and the "slam-dunk" CIA intends it should not be them. That much is crystal clear. How much of the pre-war hype was theirs, and how much it was the administration's is far from clear - but far more is the CIA;s than they admit now. Did you ever read Ken Pollack's pre-war book, The Gathering Storm? It absolutely made the case for war against Iraq, including Saddam's WMDs. Pollack worked for the CIA.
