Ken Pollack has a very different take now. If Bush & Cheney even now were willing to do as much of a U-turn as Pollack, I'd be more inclined to show some charity. Prior to the war I thought Pollack was a neocon pro-war hawk, and did not care for him.

Fine, we can all discuss how & in what way implementation of the war was screwed up, as Pollack does these days.

However, I think you will admit that this is significantly different from claiming that the CIA never thought that Saddam had WMDs, and that the Bush admin twisted the evidence because they alone wanted to go to war.

Doing a U-turn is one thing. Rewriting history is another.
