Disgusting lies
US Secretary of State Colin Powell was under persistent pressure from the Pentagon and White House to include questionable intelligence in his report on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction he delivered at the United Nations last February, a US weekly reported.

US News also said that the Defense Intelligence Agency had issued a classified assessment of Iraq's chemical weapons program last September, arguing that "there is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons."

So they misconstrued "there is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons" to mean "there is reliable information proving Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons". Yeah, I love politicians. They aren't worse than serial killers, nope.
