Ex-Aide: Powell Misled Americans (Wow, Powell's Intelligence Chief)

"Greg Thielmann, Powell’s former chief of intelligence, says that key evidence in the speech was misrepresented and the public was deceived."

'Steve Allinson and a dozen other U.N. inspectors in Iraq also watched Powell’s speech. “Various people would laugh at various times because the information he was presenting was just, you know, didn't mean anything -- had no meaning,” says Allinson."

I figured that out five minutes into his speech. You could just tell that he really didn't believe what he was saying, and his "You will find that this evidence is IRREFUTABLE!" didn't help much, either.

By the way, here's the "No Shit, Sherlock!" award winner!

5. "Faith-Based Intelligence"
"“…The main problem was that the senior administration officials have what I call faith-based intelligence,” says Thielmann."
