An utter failure of journalism in my humble opinion. This story simply repeats an interview without context or verification. Despite many well-publicized reports that the White House controlled and cherry-picked the intelligence they were given, this one-sided piece simply lets Bush get away with somehow blaming the intelligence services he chose to ignore. This isn't reporting. It's repeating.

This is factual in that I'm sure it accurately reports what Bush said, but it's sheer lazy journalism not to even bring up another point of view. Especially when it is so well documented already. .
