Senate
Report Blasts Intelligence Agencies' Flaws
Washington Post 09/07/04
"In a hard-hitting report released today, the U.S. Senate's
Select Committee on Intelligence said the CIA and other agencies
used unfounded "group think" assumptions to assess the
existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before last
year's U.S. invasion and reached conclusions that were often
either "overstated" or "not supported by the
underlying intelligence."
"A series of failures, particularly in analytic trade craft,
led to the mischaracterization of intelligence" about Iraqi
weapons programs, the committee concluded, according to the
report.
The 511-page report, the product of the committee's year-long
investigation of pre-war intelligence on Iraq, also pointed to
severe management problems at the CIA. The agency's director,
George J. Tenet, announced his resignation last month for personal
reasons and leaves office Sunday..."
'A
global intelligence failure'
Guardian 10/07/04
"The principal claims justifying the invasion of Iraq -
that Saddam Hussein had biological and chemical weapons and was
developing nuclear weapons - were fundamentally wrong and the
result of a "global intelligence failure", a Senate
investigation concluded yesterday.
"We went into Iraq based on false claims," said Senator
Jay Rockefeller, one of the authors of yesterday's report on the
debacle, said. He added that he now regretted his vote in October
2002 to support the war.
"The
fact is that the administration, at all levels ... used bad information to
bolster its case for war, and we in Congress would not have authorised
that war ... if we knew what we know now," Mr Rockefeller said..."

Fury
over Pentagon cell that briefed White House on Iraq's 'imaginary' al-Qaeda
links
The Telegraph 11/07/04
"A Senior Pentagon policy maker created an unofficial "Iraqi
intelligence cell" in the summer of 2002 to circumvent the CIA and
secretly brief the White House on links between Saddam Hussein and
al-Qa'eda, according to the Senate intelligence committee.
The allegations about Douglas Feith, the number three at the Department of
Defence, are made in a supplementary annexe of the committee's review of
the intelligence leading to war in Iraq, released on Friday.
According to dramatic testimony contained in the annexe, Mr Feith's cell
undermined the credibility of CIA judgments on Iraq's alleged al-Qa'eda
links within the highest levels of the Bush administration.
The cell appears to have been set up by Mr Feith as an adjunct to the
Office of Special Plans, a Pentagon intelligence-gathering operation
established in the wake of 9/11 with the authority of Paul Wolfowitz. Its
focus quickly became the al-Qa'eda-Saddam link..."
