7. Best intel at the time? According to who? MI6? Mossad?
Edited on Thu Jul-10-03 03:22 PM by J B
Certainly not the CIA, which considered this information false at the frigging time.

But did Tenet tell them that?

Tenet seems to be the fall guy here.

But on edit, let me make no mistake: You can argue that Bush didn't lie because Bush seriously believed what he said. Because he bases the truth on religion and faith, not evidence.

Powell said that the claim was REASONABLE at the time.

If there is one thing that faith-based intelligence is NOT, that is that it is reasonable.
