I suppose you could say that my point is with all the money spent on
Intelligence in the US and UK, how did they the Intelligence agencies
get it so wrong ?
I think some questions could be asked are was the intelligence
politicised ?
What happened to the Policy makers input and the policy side of this
intelligence case for the decision to go into iraq ?
Surely, some serious questions need to be asked
