Acting on may turn out to be bad information is not fabricating evidence.
Clue #2
Transcipt of Wolf Blitzer interview with Scott Riter, former UN weapons inspector.
http://www.why-war.com/news/2003/07/13/scottrit.htmlUS to probe Iraq war intelligence
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1036232.htmSenator Feinstein Supports Independent Investigation into the
Pre-War Intelligence on Iraq and Its Use
http://feinstein.senate.gov/04Releases/r-iraqwmd2.htmOn top of the intelligence, the Administration was pounding a steady drumbeat of speeches and comments about the threat that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction presented.
Let me give you some examples:
President Bush, on September 12, 2002, said in his Address to the UN General Assembly: “Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons.”
President Bush, on October 2, 2002, said in a Rose Garden Ceremony: “The regime has the scientists and facilities to build nuclear weapons, and is seeking the materials needed to do so.”
President Bush, on October 7, 2002, said in an Address on Iraq: “The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program….Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons. If the Iraqi regime is able to produce, buy, or steal an amount of highly-enriched uranium a little larger than a single softball, it could have a nuclear weapon in less than a year.”
President Bush, in his October 7, 2002, address also said: “We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, and VX nerve gas.”
President Bush, on March 17, 2003, said in his Address to the Nation on War with Iraq: “Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.”
How can this have happened? Did the Intelligence Community fail, and why? Did senior policymakers
misinterpret, manipulate or misrepresent the analytic product of the Intelligence Community? Did senior Executive branch officials
deliberately mislead the American people and the Congress?
I know liberal press, biased media... etc. etc... etc....
Even though the justice department is closing in on who leaked valerie palmer's name.
There are 2 congressional investigations and one special prosecutor investigation going on looking into the US Intelligence and policy makers' statements.
