Were we lied to?

Lt Smash doesn’t know whether to be “amazed or amused” by the latest hullabaloo over President Bush’s State of the Union address.

I take his point but I think it’s important that we find out whether or not we were deliberately misled by these people.

Two quotes from their report give me cause for concern:

casualties among children will be in the thousands, probably in the tens of thousands and possibly in the hundreds of thousands.

And

The UN estimates that a war could lead to more than 1.4 million refugees and as many as 2 million internally displaced persons.

On second thoughts, I'm inclined to be charitable and attribute both to a lack of intelligence.
