I will defend that stance until the day I die. We agree on that. It was wrong, but I am not arguing with you about that.
I can see how people were scared to death by the warmongers about WMD and such after 9/11. Scared people do not bother to examine issues a lot of times. They are in survival mode. That was the cloud that was brewed up and that settled over the nation.
This action will be to the US's lasting shame. Many realize that now. People with access to much more info than we were also got stampeded.

My point is that once you are in the middle of battle, it is an unholy mess with no clear lines at times. This is especially true when you are battling insurgents and not an army per se.
