And we now know that the administration only gave them selected information. Wouldn't have been good if they reached the wrong conclusion. All administrations give ALL congressional committees selected information. Specifically because congressional committees cannot be trusted with national secrets. That the do this is well-established and frankly, has been supported by the courts. It is an absolute fact that CIA advised the administration that there was reason to believe the WMD existed. But as Feith pointed out last night, even without the WMD there was plenty of justification for the war. Bush's big mistakes was making WMD the central focus of the rationale when there were a half dozen reasons, any of which taken alone, were adequate to have justified the war. Most importantly, Saddam's repeated violations of the terms of the ceasefire agreement which occurred throughout the 90s -- had appropriate action been taken at the time, I doubt this war would have been necessary. There is a price that must be paid when you allow any regime to roll over you. And we're paying that price now.
