| Position: |
CON
to the question "Should the U.S. have attacked Iraq?"
|
| Reasoning: |
"The Bush administration used questionable intelligence information to build a case for war against Iraq. The past cannot be changed, but the administration, the intelligence community, and Congress have a responsibility to undertake a thorough, nonpartisan evaluation of what happened and institute procedures that can prevent recurrences. Such an investigation is critical to reestablishing the honesty and credibility of the intelligence process."
