I recall very clearly that there was a point, early on, when Bush was beating on the drum to try to get everyone to agree that there were WMD over in Iraq, and the CIA produced a quiet assessment which surprised a lot of people: Tenet said to a House committee that he didn't really see much evidence pointing in that direction. The communist american media such as NPR ;-) made a point of noticing this.<br clear="all">
