David Kay mentioned the Cuban missile crisis as one of several examples of our intel getting it wrong. Intel said there were no nukes on Cuba and there were nukes on Cuba. He mentioned Libya...a recent case of our intel getting it wrong. Libya was much further advanced on its goal of making a nuke than our intel had reported. He mentioned Iran...a recent case of our intel getting it wrong. Our intel was not aware that Iran had an underground nuclear facility and has had for years. Etc. etc.
There was no "blatant and ridiculous attempt at manipulating the public".
