i did a google search to see if anything had in fact been found. i did find this:
"Perhaps Congress is hoping that these hearings will shield them from responsibility for a war that didn't have to be fought," Seehusen said. "Keep in mind that last October, 296 representatives and 77 senators voted in favor of a resolution supporting the invasion of Iraq. So every one of these individuals is just as responsible as Bush for the consequences of that decision – and convening a hearing won't change that."
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said no analysts have told the panel the administration pressured them to make a stronger WMD case than existed.
"If there is anyone in the intelligence community – former, current – that thinks their analytical product in any way was manipulated or coerced or intimidated, please come forward. We will keep it confidential. But we have yet to hear from the first one," Roberts told reporters.
now, i have no doubt lies have been told, by pols to their willing believers. just like always.

ok, i put this out 2 days ago and no reply. i'd like to know if there was anything, as if there was lying, there should be a thorough investigation and heads should absolutely roll! it would be beyond a travesty if we'd uselessly wasted troops' lives, altered others lives permanently, and cost us and our children a huge fortune and have no one in trouble for faking info to get us over there.
