Do you think Powell lied? Do you think Tenet lied, or sat back and was silent while others lied based on data from the CIA?
Also, help me understand proper decision making technique. If I have pieces of conflicting information and I make a judgement to use the pieces that support a certain action, and then I make a public statement indicating that I have information supporting that action, how is that a lie? What would be the proper technique to arrive a decision? what is the proper technique to communicate the decision in a short speech without commenting on all the data used no matter how material?
Why didn't someone in Congress insist upon looking at the intelligence before voting?
You are correct Kucinich doesn't have to prove anything. However, it would be nice if he had presented a compelling argument.
We would have gone to war with Iraq with or without intelligence on the aluminum tubes. However, I do understand that those who believe Bush and Chaney lied sincerely believe it, and that poor intellegence or making an error in judgement are not possibilities (I think there was poor intelligence, I would have supported the preemtive attack and overthrow of Sadaam anyway, and the only error in judgement was in the way we have handled the "occupation").
