10. While on the subject of intelligence...

do you have a theory on what went wrong with the intelligence on WMD in Iraq? Did they really believe the mushroom cloud stuff? Did the intel people know the truth and "Slam Dunk" Tenet lied to please his bosses and the MIC?

U.N.: No Iraq WMD Since '94

If that report is true then there wouldn't have been any significant WMD intelligence produced after the mid 1990s, right? If a department store or factory goes out of business and closes then trucks stop showing up there to deliver things, employees no longer show up for work, and customers no longer show up there to shop.

Somebody down in the agencies had to know the truth since they had no recent WMD intelligence after the mid 1990s, right?

What happened?
