Details The US attacked Iraq in 2003, asserting that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destructions. This assertion was based on the US intelligence community’s estimate, which turned out to be completely false. This author reviews some government’s reports, books, and articles that are useful in understanding the reasons for the wrong estimate.
