WTF Is It Now?!?

Intelligence failure
"As a massive piece in the New York Times revealed, it was cooked, abused or lied about by the most senior figures in the administration."

In one of the most egregious abuses of intelligence in US history, the Bush administration falsely claimed that expert opinion supported a near-ludicrous theory that aluminum tubes acquired by Iraq were suitable for use in developing nuclear weapons. In fact, that theory's principal backer was a low-level CIA analyst who was almost laughed out of an international conference when he presented his theory.

"Everybody was embarrassed when he came and made this presentation, embarrassed and disgusted," the Times quoted one expert who attended as saying. "We were going insane, thinking, 'Where is he coming from?'"

The American people should be clearly told and retold that it was the Bush administration itself, and its lap dog CIA head George Tenet, who were responsible for the bogus intelligence that it used to sell the case for war.

So why isn't Kerry pointing this out? Why didn’t he respond Friday night by telling Bush, "Yes, I saw the same intelligence as you, Mr. pResident – after your administration cooked it."
