It was by turning such bogus intelligence into talking points for U.S. officials, -- including ominous lines in speeches by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, along with Secretary of State Colin Powell's testimony at the U.N. Security Council last February, -- that the administration pushed American public opinion into supporting an unnecessary war. ..."
