"All administrations give ALL congressional committees selected information." Sure. but they usually take pains to make sure the information is balanced. "It is an absolute fact that CIA advised the administration that there was reason to believe the WMD existed" And they also advised that there was contradicting evidence. It wasn't a slam dunk. "Bush's big mistakes was making WMD the central focus of the rationale when there were a half dozen reasons" That is the point. It wasn't a mistake, it was a deliberate attempt to panic people. The WMD argument was an easy sell. The others would have required presenting a solid case. Which they didn't want to do. Because it ran the risk of people deciding it wasn't worth a war. They wanted the war and were willing, nay, eager, to cook the evidence to get one.
