You must have just finished reading "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder." No WMD's, the threat was hyped, and the truth was stretched. A connection with Iraq was manufactured. Yeah, we knew all that. Did you just find out?

While I agree with your hypothesis that the admin was rawther shady and hateful, the other piece of the pie is a panicky and complicit public. Yes the fear was hyped but you can't hype something if you don't have a hype-able bunch of folks and when people react to things based on panic or a gut feeling rather than thinking a problem through they'll agree to just about anything.
