Thanks flstf. I guess I missed all that. Even if Bush manipulated the intelligence, there was enough information available at the time for them to make the right decision. They chose not to for political reasons and they need to pay the price for that just like everyone else. They don't bear as much responsibility as the Bush administration, but they certainly bear some fo it.
Feinstein's comment is especially troubling since she claims to have looked at all the intelligence available and still came to the conclusion that Saddam posed a threat to the United States. Nothing much has changed since then, except for the fact that the American people have turned against the war. I guess that's enough to change her opinion.
