===Summary update on WMD and Iraq/terrorist/Al Qaeda connections NOT being falsified===
The Los Angeles Times article, '''"Bush never lied to us about Iraq - ''The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.''"''' By [[James Kirchick]], June 16, 2008, a great deal of summary about these two previous sections on WMD and links to the Al Qaeda are given. The article states that, "Nearly every prominent Democrat in the country has repeated some version of the charge.. that the Bush administration deceived the American people. Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House "manipulation"—that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction—administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods." <ref>http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story</ref>
In 2004, '''the Senate Intelligence Committee''' unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it '''''"did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments."''''' The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found '''''"no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."''
