It may have been all the UN resolution violations and Saddam's unwillingness to work with the UN inspectors. That was not faulty intel.

Hey, friendly fire goes unpunished the world over. Grow up a few more years and get some perspective. The Muslims practice Takkiya (Islamic doctrine of legitimate lying and deception of others) to advance the cause of Muslims and Islam. And takffir (infidel) against anybody, be that a Muslim or a non-Muslim. (Once a Muslim leader declares anyone as such, it is for the faithful ones to see that person eliminated.
Does THAT sound as bad as what happened to them? I don't think so. But you are welcome to your own opinion.

Good ethics and morals sure should say that it shouldn't - if it's manipulated intelligence. Honest errors are different because no one is 100% perfect. However a decision to go to war is a VERY SERIOUS decision, and when incompetent people are hired to for expertise duties, then the head, responsible of overseeing the intelligence for leading the war, can't be excused from punishment for creating an unjust war - lives are wasted in wars, and bad leaders with bad judgement ought to be punished, for they have abused their duties and responsibilities.

It should not go unpunished but you have it backwards. The CIA gave Bush the correct information. It was Bush's ppl that altered it, not the CIA.

Should the failure of intelligence be punished? Sure. Bush should be publically flogged, or at least humiliated, for ignoring the CIA's assessments of Iraq's lack of nuclear and other WMD capabilities.

I highly doubt intelligence, regardless of the agency, would make a mistake that would lead to an invasion. They don't make one observation and deploy, it takes lots and lots of Intel to determine whether or not to invade a country

No, but neither should embellishment when interpreting that intelligence go unpunished.

The British agent involved committed suicide. Is that punishment enough for you?
