Haha, I thought hard about changing that to something else. Personally, yes, I think it's dishonest because I like my politicians nearly honest to a fault. However the simple fact is that alleged means alleged. It's not like we didn't have access to more detailed information surrounding the events in question. I mean who really thought Saddam was behind 9/11 leading up to the invasion? There's a lot of blame to spread around. Culpability lies with the people selling the war, the people blindly buying it, and the leaders who were elected to lead and not just go whichever way the political wind was blowing at the time.
