The mistake that the Bush administration did is a mistake many young scientists make. That is he formed his conclusions before he looked at th evidence. He was convinced Saddam had involvement in 9/11 and world terrorism. Thus when he looked at the evidence before him he immediatly picked out anything that supported his conclusion while glossing over anything that didn't. Whether or not he intentionally mislead people to go to war is important but even if he didn't do it intentionally he should have been more responsible and looked at the evidence with an unbiased mind. When one forms conclusions before looking at evidence or performing research they will almost always find evidence to support thier direct conclusions but many times will be wrong because they have biased theirselves already.
