Basically if shaky intelligence, like what got us into Iraq, agrees with Bush's world view, it is taken as gospel and hammered into the minds of Americans--but if well researched and documented intelligence disagrees with Bush's agenda, it is to be dismissed.
"well researched"? Isn't it the same people who analyzed the Iraq intel giving us the Iran report?
The NIE on Iran said that they were moderately confident that they had halted their program. Not 100% sure. Not dismantled, but moderately confident it had been halted, using essentially the same data they had from years earlier.
