Was it just the intelligence agencies? Posted here Sunday, February 01, 2004 at 6:37:11 PM     The problem of the intelligence failure - British and American intelligence services look set to share the blame for the spectacular failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. President George Bush is to order a full investigation of US intelligence failures in Iraq, a senior White House official said last night, while politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are preparing to argue that MI6 and the CIA supplied a false picture of Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons stockpile. It is amazing how such a ploy can work. In this case it might not. ********
