The Build a War Workshop

In a nutshell,

a. You bypass the CIA by opening your own intelligence office at the Pentagon under Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith.

b. Then just write your own intelligence reports but don't share them with the CIA. No need to take chances here.

c. Just keep your intelligence reports secret and pass them to Bush and Cheney to start their little useless war.

d. If the war goes South, blame the CIA. Just call it intelligence failure.

The report said the team headed by Douglas Feith, under secretary of defense for policy, developed "alternative" assessments of intelligence on Iraq that contradicted the intelligence community and drew conclusions "that were not supported by the available intelligence." Feith certainly knew the Central Intelligence Agency would cry foul, so he hid his findings from the CIA. Then Vice President Dick Cheney used them as proof of cloak-and-dagger meetings that never happened, long-term conspiracies between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden that didn't exist, and — most unforgivable — "possible Iraqi coordination" on the 9/11 attacks, which no serious intelligence analyst believed.
