by pointing all fingers at the CIA and its analysts for the "dead wrong" intel that was used to start the war, where are all the news media reports noting that the "Commissions" and their reports turned out to be all wrong..... OR....lies to cover up for BushInc?
In the past year, there have been stories after stories proving that it was the WH exaggerating the bad intel and downplaying or hiding all the evidence that most analysts were pointing to in order to divert war.
Now, if Chuck Robb and Laurence Silberman had actually INVESTIGATED the intel that was used and chosen by the WH, they would have come forth with a report that matches the facts being confirmed that point to the truth. But, we know the Robb-Silberman investigation pointed AWAY from the WH.
Bottom line - Robb and Silberman were FED the report from the WH, just like Sen. Pat Roberts was fed his Senate Intel Report that pointed only at the CIA and away from BushInc.
So - where is the all the media willing to call out Chuck Robb, Laurence Silberman, and Pat Roberts for the LIARS they are?
Isn't there a LAW or TEN that these crooks have broken? Isn't it ILLEGAL to LIE in OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS?
Refresh your memories on Robb-Silberman:
Iraq Intelligence Commission From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction was a panel created by Executive Order 13328 signed by U.S. President George W. Bush in February of 2004. The impetus for the Commission lay with a public windstorm occasioned by statements, including those of Chief of the Iraq Survey Group David Kay, that the Intelligence Community had grossly erred in judging that Iraq had been developing WMD before the March 2003 start of "Operation Iraqi Freedom." President Bush therefore formed the Commission, but gave it a broad mandate not only to look into any errors behind the Iraq intelligence, but also to look into intelligence on WMD programs in Afghanistan and Libya, as well as to examine the capabilities of the Intelligence Community to address the problem of WMD proliferation and "related threats." The Commission, following intense study of the Intelligence Community, delivered its report to the President on March 31, 2005.
President Bush holds a press briefing at the White House on Friday, Feb. 6, 2004, announcing the formation of the commission. He is flanked by commission co-chairs Senator Charles Robb (left) and Judge Laurence Silberman (right). Regarding Iraq, the Commission concluded that the Intelligence Community was "dead wrong" in almost all of its pre-war judgments about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and that this constituted a major intelligence failure. The Commission's report described in great detail the systemic analytical, collection, and dissemination flaws that led to the Community's erroneous assessments about Iraq's alleged WMD programs. Chief among these flaws were failures by certain agencies to gather all relevant information and analyze fully information on purported centrifuge tubes, insufficient vetting of key sources, particularly the source "Curveball," and somewhat overheated presentation of data to policymakers. The commission found "no indication" that political pressure had been applied to distort the Intelligence Community's assessments on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. >>>>>>>>>
