Yahoo! News - Depiction of Threat Outgrew Supporting Evidence: "The new information indicates a pattern in which President Bush (news - web sites), Vice President Cheney and their subordinates -- in public and behind the scenes -- made allegations depicting Iraq's nuclear weapons program as more active, more certain and more imminent in its threat than the data they had would support. On occasion administration advocates withheld evidence that did not conform to their views. The White House seldom corrected misstatements or acknowledged loss of confidence in information upon which it had previously relied:"

This is exactly what Streak has been talking about for months. It isn't just willful deception, but the willingness to allow misunderstandings and misstatements to continue.
