4. Without delving into my research books, only one report stated a possibility, all others none.

Bush and Cheney cherry-picked the intelligence report that they wanted to read.

A report that was refuted by all others, but meeting the war narrative that Bush/Cheney & Co. wanted.

That's the problem wityh US Intel. The politicians who get the reports pick and choose what they want to see.

Trump is classic in this regards. He doesn't want to see anything that supports Russian hacking or involvement.


If there were two dozen reports, and one said it didn't happen, he'd cite that one and throw out the rest.
