eyewitness to administration dishonesty

[jennifer5]

Wilson appeared to be an eyewitness to administration dishonesty in the march
to war.

The State of the Union speech had been a pillar of the administration's case
for war, and Wilson was raising questions about one of its key elements: the
claim that Iraq was a nuclear threat.

At the time of Wilson's disclosure, U.S. and United Nations officials had yet
to turn up evidence of biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. A ragtag
Iraqi insurgency had begun to strike back.

In public, the White House was predicting that weapons of mass destruction
would be found. But behind the scenes, officials were worried about the
failure to find those weapons and the possibility that the CIA would blame
the White House for prewar intelligence failures.
