Colin Powell Sets Record Straight
Everyone who keeps talking about the administration lying etc., and who say my "excuses" are "weak," should listen to/watch Colin Powell's interview on Meet the Press today. He makes quite clear that they all believed the basic WMD story line, that everything presented in the UN speech was backed up by the CIA, and so on.
Russert asked Powell, well, your own intelligence agency at State (INR) disagreed with the intel on the aluminum tubes. Powell responded, and I gave that caveat in my UN speech, but at the end of the day, the CIA's analysis trumps INR's. Duh.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
