“[O]n July 9 [2004], the Senate intelligence committee released a devastating 511-page report that chronicled the missteps, miscalculations, and shoddy judgments of the U.S. intelligence community prior to the war. The report concluded that the CIA and other agencies had succumbed to unfounded ‘groupthink’ assumptions in determining that there had been weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.”
