1. I didn't.

:hi:

[Critters2]

6. Me neither!

I called it. But they didn't ask me.

As usual.

7. This is propagating a massive lie.

The intelligence was just fine. No WMD. No yellowcake. What intelligence are they talking about? The cooked crap that George and Colin spouted?

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. Exactly

Has a matter of fact the Intel was pretty good.

It was what Bush & Co did with the Intel that was the problem.

2. showing clip of Powell at the UN (Tenet behind him).

[rodeodance]

4. Wilkerson "I participated in a HOAX"

[rodeodance]

8. He is doing soul searching. Upset by what happened

[Captain Hilts]

3. There were plenty of analysts warning about the lousy intelligence. They didn't listen. nt

[H2O Man]

21. Correct.

They were marginalized, silenced, and ignored.

[MichiganVote]

5. "WE" didn't. THEY (Republicans) did

[aquart]

9. Yup. That "we" is pretty much the Republics talking to each other.

[rodeodance]

11. the 'we' (per Wilkerson)----is the WH.

[Kagemusha]

10. The admin heard what it wanted to hear, and nothing but?

It's not complicated!

[rodeodance]

I think PBS is going a good job of laying out the LIES

[rodeodance]

14. David Kay talking of Curve Ball.

[tularetom]

12. What you mean "we" white man?

I didn't get no stinking intelligence wrong!

[tuvor]

13. They weren't reading enough foreign news? Here's a link worth bookmarking.

From LynnTheDem:

No WMD in Iraq; "the CIA is to blame!" BULLSHIT.

15. thanks

[rodeodance]

16. oh cheney boy is yuking it up.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. By saying "WE," I guess PBS is announcing their allegiance.

"WE" are now pretending we made a mistake--just an honest li'l slip-up, ya know. No deliberate lying propaganda campaign to swing public sentiment in favor of a pre-determined war here.

[acmejack]

20. Isn't this just a sad turn of events!

We are seeing history corrupted.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

19. I did not either, and even sent them a letter

I guess they did not read it.
