CIA Intel Not Biased

January 31, 2004 at 1:49 pm

From the Washington Post:

Congressional and CIA investigations into the prewar intelligence on Iraq’s weapons and links to terrorism have found no evidence that CIA analysts colored their judgment because of perceived or actual political pressure from White House officials, according to intelligence officials and congressional officials from both parties.

So I guess the whole “Bush lied, people died,” mantra is completely false. This is not to say that there shouldn’t be concern over the intelligence failures that lead us to believe that Saddam’s weapons programs were something that they have turned out not to be … yet. The good news for Bush, thought, is that he can rightfully claim that he made decisions based on the intelligence he had to work with, both domestic and British.
