<snip>Human Events editor Terence P. Jeffrey argued, "The intelligence that {Sen.} Dianne Feinstein {D-CA} used when she voted to authorize that war in October of 2002, provided -- a National Intelligence Estimate provided by the CIA directly to the Senate. We know already from the Senate investigation, it was the same information the president and vice president had. It was bad intelligence, but the Senate and the president had the same intelligence. It came from the CIA." {CNN's The Situation Room, 11/2/05}

A November 3 Wall Street Journal editorial claimed, "The scandal here isn't what happened before the war. The scandal is that the same Democrats who saw the same intelligence that Mr. Bush saw, who drew the same conclusions, and who voted to go to war are now using the difficulties we've encountered in that conflict as an excuse to rewrite history."

New York Times columnist David Brooks stated, "They all had the same evidence." {PBS' The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, 11/4/05} snip

U.S. News & World Report executive editor Mortimer B. Zuckerman wrote in the November 14 edition of the magazine, "Democrats who saw the same intelligence as President Bush drew the same conclusions."
