When did the use of intelligence diverge from the intelligence itself? |
-When did you begin to see that the use of the intelligence was diverging
from the intelligence itself?
I think the real evidence of that came in August 2002, when the
administration started speaking about Iraq, in much shriller tones, as
something which was not just a security concern for the United States that
merited close scrutiny and forceful action to support U.N. Security Council
resolutions. It became much more in the tone of, there is an imminent
security threat that has to be dealt with right away.
-So they began beating the drums of war.
Yes. That's when I saw the way administration officials talking about Iraq
was diverging from the kind of qualified and fairly carefully structured
intelligence that they were being provided.

Bush Defends U.S. Justification for Iraq War

All of the following were justified by somebody.

Dollars in the common treasury are like fish in the common sea - anyone
who can will harvest to extinction. That is why socialism is
fundamentally corrupting and can not work.
