Re:Lies, not Truth, Appeal to the American Voter (Score 1)

Many people that were paying attention (people that I knew) realized that the CIA data was fabricated. From: http://www.slate.com/id/2087735/ "One U.S. intelligence official said analysts may have been too eager to find evidence to support the White House's claims. As a result, he said, defectors "were just telling us what we wanted to hear." Check here: http://www.slate.com/id/2077558/, or here: http://www.slate.com/id/2078196/ for articles written before the war that dispute the intellegence. The CIA was in shambles and needed some bolstering, so when the data didn't support the WMD theory, it was pressured into manufacturing it. There are similar articles in Atlantic monthly and other places stating the same.
