In order to consider how to take the conclusions contained within the report, it's important to consider the Administration's track record:
- Administration assures us that Iraq has WMD's.
- Administration assures us that we will be treated as liberators in Iraq.
- Administration assures us that Karl Rove knew nothing about the Valerie Plame leak.
- Administration assures us (or at least each other) that waterboarding is not torture.
- Administration assures us that humans do not contribute to climate change.
- Administration assures us that President Bush is an able and effective leader.
Hmm...I'm beginning to sense a pattern. Personally, I think there is no greater indication that Iran DOES have a nuclear weapons program than a report from the Bush administration assuring us they do not.

Your point is well taken. But people should be careful not to confuse what they believe to be a bad president and bad policy with what they so readily characterize as a lying president with evil intentions. Anyone who believes a politician would intentional pursue a policy they KNOW to be wrong, frankly, just doesn't get it.
I agree totally. That being said, I do believe that people who zealously believe in something are prone to cut corners for the greater good. And sometimes those cut corners can be easily mistaken for acts of malice.
Then we agree.
...And, to support your point further. Good intentions are not an excuse for bad decisions as some Bush supports and others would have us believe.
