[Vision2020] Re: Bush not the only one misled by faultyintelligence...

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Tony,

The information before the invasion was that the inspectors did not find any 
WMD.  Bush went ahead with the invasion despite the inspectors' work, and 
later made claims that Hussein did not let the inspectors in.

If the latest information suggests the previous estimates were incorrect, 
then it makes sense to me that one would examine the latest information 
carefully, and perhaps question your previous assessment.
