Bush Deleted Intel Report Passage Saying Saddam Would Only Attack in Self-Defense
"Contrary to the mindless repetition at the time from pundits such as Sean Hannity that Congress was "looking at the same intelligence," it was not.
In the summary section called "Key Judgements" of the classified report which Bush was given, US intelligence said that Saddam Hussein would likely only support terrorist attacks on the US in self-defense, if he felt threatened. The classified National Intelligence Estimate 2002 (NEI 2002) read on page 8:"
Should something like this be illegal?
Were we duped?
Was Congress duped?
Did this cost the lives of almost 5,000 US soldiers?
Is this prosecutable?
Perhaps a million dead Iraqis, and counting?
