Ex-CIA agent says sacked for not faking Iraq WMD reports

A sacked CIA (news - web sites) official has sued, alleging he was fired for refusing to fake reports supporting the White House position that Iraq (news - web sites) had weapons of mass destruction, local media said.

Described as a senior CIA official who was sacked in August "for unspecified reasons," the lawsuit appeared to be the first public instance of a CIA agent charging he was pressured to concoct intelligence on Iraq.

The suit claims the unidentified ex agent was urged to produce reports in line with President George W Bush's contention that Iraq had illegal chemical or biological weapons, which threatened US and international security.

"Their official dogma was contradicted by his reporting and they did not want to hear it," attorney Roy Krieger told The Washington Post of his client.

U.S. manipulates intelligence on North Korea too! Read the full article here:

BEIJING (AFP) - The United States manipulated intelligence on North Korea (news - web sites)'s nuclear program in a similar fashion to its use of weapons of mass destruction to justify the war on Iraq (news - web sites), a US foreign policy expert said in an article.


"Relying on sketchy data, the Bush administration presented a worst-case scenario as an incontrovertible truth and distorted its intelligence on North Korea (much as it did in Iraq), seriously exaggerating the danger that Pyongyang is secretly making uranium-based nuclear weapons," Selig Harrison said in Foreign Affairs magazine.

Harrison, from the Washington-based Center for International Policy, chairs the Task Force on Korean Policy, a grouping of former senior US military officials, diplomats and Korean specialists.

The Task Force, which includes a former joint chiefs of staff head and ex-US ambassadors, on Friday issued a report calling on the US immediately to back down on its insistence that North Korea come clean on its alleged uranium program.

16. I hope this administration burns in hell for what they've done.

They've slaughtered thousands and thousands of people because they wanted to. They had to make up lies to support their desire to kill. They've murdered thousands of innocent people in Iraq - including American soldiers who are treated like crap and given second-rate equipment because they are "only reserves". These bastards will be burning in hell.

[Killarney]

22. That's exactly it. We went to war because they wanted to.

They didn't give two shits about WMD. It was the public excuse. It's so obvious now and half the country still doesn't see it!

18. THIS IS OFF TOPIC, BUT HELP NEEDED

I can't start new topics, and I haven't seen this issue but think it's important since it involves ACTION we can take to support the investigations into the electoral fraud:

A citizen in Texas has organized a nationwide march, to take place this Sunday, DEC 12, at noon in all 51 State capitals. He was on Mike Malloy tonight...and he asked us to think "Ukraine". His website is www.51capitalmarch.com

Each state has a state coordinator through whom to communicate about attending. A few states without a coordinator are still encouraged to participate...

This is the opportunity I have been waiting for...a chance to put my outrage into a visible action. But for it to make a difference it really MUST have support in large numbers.

Can we get this out there? Please help!

[chelaque liberal]

24. Thanks. I emailed my list with this message.

[sojourner]

28. thanks!!!

Thanks a million! I'm planning to attend but feel that to be effective we need more people to know about this. Seems to me it's "flying under the radar" for now. Any ideas about how to get it more public?
