Я не увидел фактов, в приведённых статьях. Процитируйте их пожалуйста.
Ну нате вам прямо из отчета :

-- Statements and implications by the President and Secretary of State suggesting that Iraq and al-Qa'ida had a partnership, or that Iraq had provided al-Qa'ida with weapons training, were not substantiated by the intelligence.
-- Statements by the President and the Vice President indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups for attacks against the United States were contradicted by available intelligence information.
-- Statements by President Bush and Vice President Cheney regarding the postwar situation in Iraq, in terms of the political, security, and economic, did not reflect the concerns and uncertainties expressed in the intelligence products.
-- Statements by the President and Vice President prior to the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate regarding Iraq's chemical weapons production capability and activities did not reflect the intelligence community's uncertainties as to whether such production was ongoing.
-- The Secretary of Defense's statement that the Iraqi government operated underground WMD facilities that were not vulnerable to conventional airstrikes because they were underground and deeply buried was not substantiated by available intelligence information.
-- The Intelligence Community did not confirm that Muhammad Atta met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001 as the Vice President repeatedly claimed.

"1. There was NO MENTION of the
well-known instances of Cheney pressure on intelligence agencies."
Кому "широкоизвестные"? Кем и когда были озвучены?
У меня громадные претензии к "фактической стороне критики".
Я её, сторону эту фактическую, никак разглядеть не в силах.

Vice-President Dick Cheney and a top aide visited the CIA several times over the past year, making some analysts feel they were being pressured, say intelligence officials.
Some say they felt they were having to make assessments of Iraq data to fit the Administration's policy objectives.
One senior CIA official said the visits by Mr Cheney and his chief-of-staff to question the analysts "sent signals, intended or otherwise, that a certain output was desired from here".
Government sources said CIA analysts were not the only ones who felt pressure from their superiors to support public statements by President George Bush, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and others. Former and current intelligence officials said they felt a continual drumbeat, not only from Mr Cheney and his chief-of-staff, but also from Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Mr Feith and less so from CIA Director George Tenet.

A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran has been held up for more than a year in an effort to force the intelligence community to remove dissenting judgments on the Iranian nuclear programme, and thus make the document more supportive of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's militarily aggressive policy toward Iran, according to accounts of the process provided by participants to two former Central Intelligence Agency officers.
