It wasn't the intelligence community that produced the faulty information that got us into Iraq. It was the administration. Remember the Plame affair. She was outed by Scooter Libby because her husband, at the behest of intelligence agencies, went to Kenya to investigate Iraq and yellowcake and found the evidence lacking. The intel agencies did what they are supposed to do. They provided all the evidence and let the administration make its decision. It was Cheney and Bush who cherry picked intel. It was Cheney and Bush who lied us into war. We shouldn't rewrite history especially in a way that makes us more likely to trust Trump and distrust are intel agencies.

Why would the "opposition" throw Molotov Cocktails on US aid trucks if this was legitimate?
Why would the US claim that it was the Venezuelan govt. who burned the aid?
Why would Elliot Abrams be involved?
