Geoffrey Stone over at U.of Chicago blog
The plain and simple fact is that the Bush administration did mislead the American people. Undoubtedly, they did so for what they believed to be good reasons, and some or even much of this may have been sloppiness rather than intentional deceit. But surely they misled the American people by obscuring the different degrees of confidence necessary to justify different types of measures, by exaggerating the evidence (certainly with respect to Saddam Hussein's involvement in 9/11), and by failing to recognize the danger that as advocates committed to a particular outcome they themselves might erroneously assess the data and the risks. For them now to claim that it is their critics who are lying is shameful.
