Salon.com breaks the new "Pentagon papers"
Salon.com just broke a new story about the intelligence leading up to the Iraq War. It appears that a special unit was set up deliberately to manipulate the information to make war with Iraq inevitable.
The information comes from a Retired US Air Force Lt. Colonel. This could be a biggie. MoveOn.org the helping publicize the story.
The Iraqi desk became the "Office of Special Plans". The symbolism of this just gives me chills. These are the people in charge in this country. Very scary.
Another interesting tidbit: "Doug Feith, undersecretary of defense for policy, was a case study in how not to run a large organization. [...] His poor reputation as a manager was not helped by his arrogance."
