"Dead Wrong" Intelligence

It seems to me like there was this huge news story this week when the committee established to look into intelligence failure around WMDs and the Iraq war published their findings and - lo and behold - they found that the intelligence on Iraq and WMDs was “dead wrong”. So shouldn’t there be some sort of apology made, doesn’t this mean that we went to war for the “dead wrong” reason. Instead George W. welcomed the findings saying it was time to revamp the intelligence system. People have died and a significant amount of money has been frittered away for the wrong reason and no one says a thing.

It has all got buried in the news by the Terry Schiavo case and now the death of the Pope. Shame on us!
