easy workaround for Bush: rely on another country's competing intelligence reports.

Indeed. Foreign intelligence sources might be able to provide Bush with, for instance, a document showing Iran trying to purchase, let's say, large quantities of yellowcake uranium from Africa. Hmm. Then again, that might be pretty far-fetched, don't you think? Refresh my memory: didn't Rumsfeld way back when announce a plan of planting propaganda in foreign English-language media so that it could easily hop the pond into the US media but still not count as propagandizing the US public for legal reasons? I seem to recall that he did, but can't find a link right now.
