<\/a>Democrats are further honing their message on the misuse of intelligence by the White House during its’ attempts to sell the Iraq invasion to the American people. Accusations of war critics with the phrases “lied us into war”, “twisted the intelligence” and “manipulated the intelligence” are being slowly replaced with more moderate arguments. <\/p>\n

Ray McGovern uses the term “corrupted intelligence” in this recent article<\/a>. Former Senator Bob Graham (D-FL) chooses an even milder criticism by saying that the administration engaged in a “selective use of intelligence” to garner support from Congress and the American people.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the PC-ness of the allegations used, the truth remains… The Bush Administration engaged in immoral, unethical and most probably illegal tactics to achieve the unnecessary goal of a pre-emptive war on an invented enemy. Let’s hope that future intelligence can be “selected” (misused or twisted) to help us invent a victory.<\/p>\n
