All of these guys are pointing fingers of blame in every direction for the "bad information" regarding WMD and any other lie or stretched truth they get called on.

That is just a cesspool ... There are decent honorable men in the middle of that shit, but it's still a cesspool and they know it.
Overall... it's the most astounding failure so far this century - tho plenty time for more *s*
When you consider the resources available and the total irrelevance of them - it's too silly. We have massive budgets allocated to the largest "intelligence" system in the world, but they did not even have "feet on the ground" and, in the instance of Iraq, relied on information via UN weapons inspectors.
To compound that the specific reason for evicting UN weapons inspectors was that the Iraqi govt had repeatedly asked them to stop "spying" for the US. There were even complaints from the IAEA that this was complicating their inspections.
Neither the UN or IAEA is a intelligence service for the US - they represent the international community and clearly supercede anything to do with the US.
