24. This is lame

What a joke. Crap reporting like this is what gets us into these wars.

No mention of the fact that Bush pulled security clearances for almost everyone in congress

No mention of the fact that ElBaradei debunked the Niger documents in less that an hour using Google and how those documents ended up on Feith's desk. ElBaradei quickly noticed that even the names of the people holding offices in the documents were wrong.

No mention of the terrorist training camps lie that were really anti-terrorism training camps set up by the Brits. The anti part was omitted from weapons inspector reports.

No mention of the lie that weapons inspectors were denied access which was contradicted by the actual report by Blix and no mention of how the media distorted his comments.

No mention of the fact that the "mobile weapons labs" were really hydrogen generators for weather balloons sold to Saddam by the Brits.

No mention of the fact that Democrats in the Senate wanted a deeper investigation into the Curveball claims by the FBI but were blocked by the Republicans.

No mention of the fact that members of Congress only had limited access to the intel and were forbidden from discussing the intel before voting.

I could go on and on. This is some of the lamest reporting I have ever seen.
