Were they "lying" too?

Again, I'm talking about the specific claim about the trailers. Of course Iraq had WMD's once, they used them. But, the Bush Administration consistently pumped up the threat that Iraq posed, including the ridiculous claim that Iraq had an active nuclear weapons program. The Bush Administration also consistently linked Iraq with 9/11, when no such link existed.
This weapons trailer issue is just one example.
If you'd prefer to not call it "lying" and instead call it "criminal negligence" or "crimes of omission" or "a watergate-level campaign of deception," I'm fine with all those terms too. We don't have to get all caught up in this "lying" term.
