...this is more a thread about interfering with science than it is about interfering with intelligence data.

But, since you insist...the difference between the Clinton and Bush administration on Iraq is that Clinton didn't choose to go to war. He didn't send his Secretary of State to the U.N. to present a totally bogus case about aerial photographs depicting chemical weapons production and transport. Clinton didn't include in his State of the Union address erroneous claims about the state of Iraq's nuclear weapons program. And the evidence is pretty clear, the Bush administration ignored expert cautions offerred about the veracity of Iraq intelligence data. Whereas, in the Clinton administration, claims about WMDs were essentially background noise to sustain international sanctions, the Bush administration elevated these claims and rhetoric to the forefront in order to justify going to war.
