Straight from the Senate Intelligence Report (in PDF), we find that Scott McClellan is right. The Bush Administration lies. They used obviously false information to make their case for war. This sounds an awful lot more like grounds for impeachment than the Monica Lewinsky affair.

The New York Times says:

A long-delayed Senate committee report endorsed by Democrats and some Republicans concluded that President Bush and his aides built the public case for war against Iraq by exaggerating available intelligence and by ignoring disagreements among spy agencies about Iraq’s weapons programs and Saddam Hussein’s links to Al Qaeda.

The report was released Thursday after years of partisan squabbling, and it represented the close of five years of investigations by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence into the use, abuse and faulty assessments of intelligence leading to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
