Before the war we sent 300 different American Iraqi immigrants, who were related to scientists in Saddam weapons program, go to Iraq and ask their relatives if Saddam was starting up his weapons program. Every one came back and said no. We didn't use this information because the FBI thought they were lying. Then (just a couple of days ago, in fact), I saw George Tenent on an interview with CNN saying the information passed from the CIA to the Bush administration was indicative of Saddam's lack of WMD. The CIA, he said, is now Bush's scapegoat. Bush and Cheney did twist the information. Now if you think you have some better proof than words spoken, on camera, by the Director of the CIA at the time.............
