    Good old CIA... always there to take the blame. I guess it wasn't to be expected that an investigation of the current administration would ever be possible. Still, this is better than nothing, I guess.

    So he's gone from justifying the war based on WMD's existing, to justifying it based on the ability to make them. And even that ability is in question.

    ...how convenient.

    Half the world could.

    Yes, and without both Saddam and you it will be even better. So long as the next one isn't Kerry, that is.

    They say that in public themselves, actually.

    I wonder who can investigate USA if they are doing those weapons of massive destruction...
    Who made them the police of the world...
    Who are they to "investigate" and to say who is or not right...
    Who gave them the right to close every Cuba's door...
    I am not supporting ANY violation of any right, I am not support violence (terrorist or any kind)
    I'm just wonder...

    Blaming the CIA alone is ridiculous. Just take these asctual articles to get a clue:

    Key Revisions Were Made to CIA Document
    Funny, ain't it? The CIA makes a report and can't explain who made the changes that appeared in the unclassified version. A nice way to say "It wasn't me!"
    So guess who did it? The only cnadidates are (a) Pentagon's OSP, (b) Cheney's staff or the (c) Whitehouse PR mashinery. Ah well. Blame the CIA anyway, right? I know a fallguy when I see one.

    Fury over Pentagon cell that briefed White House on Iraq's 'imaginary' al-Qaeda links
    The tendentially pro war Telegraph gets it some 8 months later that other newspapers I read but still ... and then, the CIA wasn't the only player involved in the intel/ hype/ propaganda process regarding Iraq. But, sure, she gets all the blame.
