It doesnt matter what he states, it doesnt mean its fact. When i said international law, Im saying that he cannot judge standards or actions in international law/politics on a domestic level or law.
If he is saying that, he is wrong. Because the CIA
did give said information, it was written in documents and... well Im going to make it really clear:
Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction Programs Central Intelligence Agency
Lets just say they havent updated this report anytime recently...
These were the reports given to the Bush administration from the CIA between 2001 and 2003. This is the actual CIA site...not the White House.
Read as much as you like and tell me that (without any more recent evidence) in 2003 you would
not have thought Iraq had WMDs.

That, of course, is the crux of the matter..whether the evidence exists that he refers to in the interview. We already know the information the Congress received was false. The question is, who falsified it, and was it mistake or intentional.

No, that is assumed. People have claimed it--to save their political image, but they really cant prove one way or the other. The evidence was not falsified---it was
wrong.
