Blair was just as keen to believe the evidence that supported war and ignore the rest as Bush was.

I'm sure that exactly as with the CIA, at some level MI6 would have had the alternative info, and at higher levels it was being ignored as it didn't fit their goals.

It won't, because unfortunately no one cba. The excuse being that it would be too politically divisive.

The wealth of evidence on hand, however, would impeach George Washington.

Was thinking about that as I read it actually. Would have thought Powell had to be made aware and it seems astonishing that he wasn't.

Not that suprised at the UK just accpeting the story and going along with it though. </BLOCKQUOTE>

powell was a guy courted by both sides to be a presidential candidate. impeccable military record. brought on as secstate because of his credentials and experience. his reputation was everything to him. I'm honestly amazed that he put everything on the line based on the word of george tenet without a seat at those critical meetings to get all the information.

Not really surprised they were sceptical about taking the Iraqi foreign minister's word for it.

for international intelligence, the cia is the last stop. other agencies may collect pieces of information but it's up to the cia to put it all together.

Wouldn't that give him complete deniability to preserve that rep, though?

Wrong thread, really. But I'll check the other one to see if you've voluntarily offered your sample yet....

Nope. You could at least announce your intent, though.

versus this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curveball_(informant)

when only one of the two had information that was checking out every single time?

we were taking saddam's son-in-law's word as gospel. why not this guy?

does it matter? he's been disgraced. he's barely popped out of his shell since he left in 2004 after being a fixture in washington for 15 years prior. complete deniability may work in his favor in his autobiography, but not really in the eyes of the public.
