False information, that was passed onto the CIA because it was wanted they wanted to hear, was accepted as true, because they tested those giving the information with Lie Detector tests.



THE two long-awaited Senate Intelligence Committee reports released last week shed new light on why US intelligence agencies provided inaccurate pre-war information about Saddam Hussein and his weapons programs.
The reports detail how three Iraqi exiles' fabricated or exaggerated stories were accepted as truth because they passed lie detector tests.

I thought Bush had it wrong, and not the intelligence community?

We already know that when Bush asked for proof from Tenet, he was just wanting a reason to give the people for the invasion. That already been planned, and was going to happen WMD or not. The 'proof' that was offered by Powell to the UN had a lot of the intelligence community choking on their corn flakes, in the CIA and around the world.
