Well it wasn't the intelligence community screwing up, as much as it was the Bush administration using whatever they could to convince people to support war. The CIA and State Department had concluded the Niger uranium documents were likely fake, but Bush went on to use them as justification. http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/07/08/wbr.iraq.claims/ http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/07/08/wbr.iraq.claims/
