Asterisks Dot White House's Iraq Argument

Asterisks Dot White House's Iraq Argument: "But Bush and his aides had access to much more voluminous intelligence information than did lawmakers, who were dependent on the administration to provide the material. And the commissions cited by officials, though concluding that the administration did not pressure intelligence analysts to change their conclusions, were not authorized to determine whether the administration exaggerated or distorted those conclusions."

In case, like me, you weren't reading much on this over the weekend, Dana Milbank and Walter Pincus explain that we're being misled again. The two arguements being put forth from the White House, that the investigation has cleared them and that the Senate saw the same intelligence, are not "wholly accurate." I suppose it depends on your definition of "same."
