Another Iraq "Oops"

AMERICAblog: A blog for a great nation that deserves the truth: "Pentagon report confirms Iraq/al Qaeda intel was 'dubious' -- a 'devastating condemnation' of Bush Iraq policy
by Joe in DC - 2/09/2007 08:37:00 AM

A report from the Pentagon's Inspector General used the word 'dubious' to describe the intelligence provided by Douglas Feith, an neocon who served as Undersecretary of Defense. Feith basically substituted the political agenda of George Bush for the work of the U.S. intelligence community as he tried to manufacture links between al Qaeda and Iraq. So much of what we all need to know about the Bush Administration is summed up in the response from Feith to The Washington Post:

In a telephone interview yesterday, Feith emphasized the inspector general's conclusion that his actions, described in the report as 'inappropriate,' were not unlawful.


Inappropriate, not unlawful. Tell that to the families of dead soldiers here or any of the Iraqis who've lost family members... "
