ace, you don't experience being lied to because the WMD and threat-related justifications that the administration provided in selling the war weren't the things that justified the war in your eyes. If you had based your support for the war on those things the way many in congress did, I assert you'd feel differently.
On Saturday, a members of the Senate Intelligence Committee (which one I don't remember and I don't have time to look at the moment) said ON THE FLOOR that the intelligence they were shown in committee didn't jive at all with what the administration was saying to support the war, but because of secrecy rules, he couldn't say anything about that. The best he could do was to vote "no" to authorize. I don't know what more of a smoking gun you need, if that's not it. I know YOU weren't lied to, but congress and the American public absolutely was.
