Bush Did Not Manipulate Iraq Intelligence - McCain
MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - U.S. Senator John McCain, who will sit on a commission investigating failures in the intelligence used to justify the Iraq war, said on Friday he did not believe President Bush's administration had manipulated information.

``The president of the United States, I believe, did not manipulate any kind of information for political gain or otherwise,'' the Republican senator told reporters on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich, Germany.

Let's see if McCain says the same thing next March. Of course, that's not what this panel is supposed to be investigating anyway. Just intelligence failures. Not how they were used after they failed.

What a crock of shit this is.
