You are wrong on both counts. The best evidence provided by the CIA was that there were WMDs. It is quite possible that there were, but were removed before the inspections.

Richard Armatage ousted Wilson's wife. Although she had been an undercover agent, she no longer was. She worked at the Pentagon and drove to work there.
