I tend to think intent is an outmoded system of morality. It can be faked easily, even to oneself. It is always better to judge outcomes. Actions, not words.. Lying, then, should be judged not on level of intent, but on severity. And on this metric, all those reporters involved should feel, and be judged, personally responsible for the deaths in the iraq war and aftermath.
