Telling information. thank you.

A second factor we often dismiss is that "intelligence" - even if it IS based on incepted documents or email or physical reports we've found and copied before the war are ONLY as good as the person who wrote them, or who spoke the words that were heard by satellite.

If he (the originator) was lying to Saddamn, or exaggerating and emphasizing "HIS" weapons to Saddamn to say out of trouble or to avoid getting shot be reporting bad news, then ALL of our intelligence will predict weapons and masses and numbers that will make the Iraqi army look better.

So, if they were lying to Saddam, how can WE outside spy agencies, get the real information? Ignore the physical documents and reports and try to infiltrate unknown weapons sites to prove the documents are false?
