Senator Says Pentagon Office Massaged Iraq Data

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Democratic U.S. Senator on Thursday accused a senior Pentagon official of distorting intelligence information to back claims of links between Iraq and al Qaeda in the run-up to last year's U.S.-led invasion.

A report issued by Sen. Carl Levin, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, also questioned assertions of pre-war links between Baghdad and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who since the invasion has emerged as a leader in the anti-U.S. insurgency.

The report, compiled by the committee's Democratic staff, criticized the Office of Special Plans, which operated under the auspices of Douglas Feith, undersecretary of defense for policy.

It was released less than two weeks before the U.S. presidential election, in which President Bush's handling of Iraq is a major issue.



Burn, motherfucker. BURN!

1. I saw Sen. Levin on C-Span...I swear, clicking channels is now like
visiting different planets. Sen. Levin was great and C-Span is quickly becoming the only channel worth watching. With the exception of Stewart of course.

3. Oh, darn
I was almost hoping for the theater of having Boston play Houston in the world series. Handing Bush a defeat there would have been a lot of fun, too.

4. Nah...make him all that much pissier next week!
And, maybe...just maybe...the national media will start to pick up on this CIA 9/11 report story and, if we're REALLY lucky, they'll pick up on the OSP and its pack of rabid ideologues.

5. Come on, folks. Enough poll talk...this is a major issue!
If people spread news like this around as much as posting about polls we'd finally get some media talking about it!
