First at the U.N. on Feb. 5, 2003 and later when he told us that his presentation was vetted by the intelligence agencies. I recall that Powell threw out a bunch of crap sent to him by the Office of Special Plans.
Jonathan Schwarz at Tiny Revolution shows that he ignored the warnings of the State Departments own intelligence section, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), so the question is, Why didn't he question more of the findings?
Let's recall that Powell was ABSOLUTE in his presentation to the Security Council:
POWELL: My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.
