S.Korea Party Asks U.S. to Avoid Intelligence Errors
By REUTERS Reuters article

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s ruling party urged President Bush’s administration on Monday to share more intelligence on North Korea to ensure there is no repeat of what it said was the flawed information that led to war in Iraq.

The bipartisan commission investigating the September 11 attacks in the United States reported last week there had been contact between Iraqis and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden but there was no evidence of a collaborative relationship.

“It was wrongful of the Bush Administration to bring on the war against Iraq,” the Uri Party said in an English-language statement. “Even worse, the administration is losing the justification of occupation policy in Iraq.”

“We urge that the Bush Administration guarantee that such kind of decision making based on false and distorted information as in the case of Iraq will not occur on the Korean peninsula, by sharing nuclear and military information on North Korea with Seoul,” the party said.
