"The intelligence information received from the CIA is a self-contained package; you cannot just choose to ignore it unless there is some reason to doubt its accuracy." I agree. Yet, clearly, that is exactly what Cheney did. Assuming he didn't lie, that is. "As we know, the mistakes were equal opportunity in nature - -Clinton believed they WMD" There are reasons to believe that they did then. And it looks like Operation Desert Fox convinced Saddam to think differently. "the Bush administration believed it" I already covered that. "the relevant congressional committees believed it" And we now know that the administration only gave them selected information. Wouldn't have been good if they reached the wrong conclusion. "in short, if you're going to charge CIA with gathering such information you don't just ignore it." We are on the same page, here.
