White House Distorted Iraq Threat

 Don't just take my word for it. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington, DC think tank, is publishing a report today charging that Bush administration officials "systematically misrepresented" the threat from Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
These distortions, combined with intelligence failures, exaggerated the risks posed by a country that presented no immediate threat to the US, Middle East or global security, the report says. The study from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace concludes that, though the long-term threat from Iraq could not be ignored, it was being effectively contained by a combination of UN weapons inspections, international sanctions and limited US-led military action.
(Financial Times) Wasn't I just saying that yesterday?
