Michael Stickings has a piece entitled "Bush's malfeasance: The politicization of intelligence and the fabricated case for war in Iraq."
He relies heavily on a Paul R. Pillar piece in Foreign Affairs. Money quote:
The Bush administration disregarded the [intelligence] community's expertise, politicized the intelligence process, and selected unrepresentative raw intelligence to make its public case.
Uh... "duh" comes to mind.
But Stickings' piece is a must read, well worth the time. Check it out.
