This is also the second book to say these things so it just reaffirms.

I don't think they lied. i think they gave what was classified as questionable intelligence - things they could not prove one way or the other. And I think Guebatz is you link to the fact that they weren't lying, just didn't have the full story where everything was. What you are dealing with is a combination of things. The WMD's was simply what was on the intelligence table at the time, so that was given as the reason to go finish the job.

-S

PS. Another thought - probably limiting their reasonings as explained to the public in such a narrow focus is part of the problem. They should have put all their reasoning on the table at the time. Problem was that 9/11 was fresh on everyones minds so they probably figured they need not muddy the waters - this is where you political screw up came from.
