Letter: Bend and stretch

Editor, Daily News:

Once and for all, let us discuss the "facts" regarding the intelligence on weapons of mass destruction; then move on.

It simply doesn't matter what others thought about WMDs, as they didn't have the current "intel" on the same. As the most current "intel" clearly stated there was no substantive evidence that indeed existed.

Many former operatives, inspectors and analysts have come out and openly stated this was, and is, what they told the powers that be; and that this "real" intelligence was ignored or "cherrypicked."

This is why people can say with confidence that truth was indeed stretched.

If you stretch the truth, is it still the truth?

Not that I am holier than thou. It's just that the truth means so much more to some people than it does to others.

Unfortunately, truth was the first casualty of this war.
