The insinuation to which I was responding was the one that the CIA has fallen on its sword to take the blame and that somehow the Committee was pressured to not include that the CIA was pressured by Bush to falsify information. There is absolutely no evidence to support this suspicion.
Instead, what we see is that the intelligence was flawed - but it was believed by the prior administration and many other governments around the world.
The analysis I quoted in the original post, however, does not concern WMDs - the author concentrated on the terrorist elements of the report, which confirm that Saddam supported terrorism and had links to AQ.
