I read this article last summer. It's from "Foreign Affairs" July/August
2004. That would be the publication of the Council on Foreign Relations.
I just now decided to post 'er up. :-)
Hmmmmm, "disregarded", is that the same as "cherry picked"?

Excerpt:
On the way to their misjudgments, it now appears, intelligence agencies and
policymakers disregarded considerable evidence of the destruction and
deterioration of Iraq's weapons programs, the result of a successful
strategy of containment in place for a dozen years. They consistently
ignored volumes of data about the impact of sanctions and inspections on
Iraq's military strength.
