You continue to mistake the burden of reasonable risk for that of beyond a reasonable doubt.
Intelligence is not perfect. It requires dealing with questionable people with questionable methods - an aspect of living in a less than perfect world.
The analysis of intelligence is based upon considering a broad spectrum of facts and understanding the nature of the enemy. Nobody here has adequately refuted the assessment that Saddam posed a reasonable risk given the available information and his history.
