Washington, D.C., September 5, 2012 -- The online magazine ForeignPolicy.com today published an extraordinary CIA document on the recent Iraq war which the National Security Archive obtained through a Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) request to the CIA.
The document, "Misreading Intentions: Iraq's Reaction to Inspection Created Picture of Deception," dated January 5, 2006, blames "analyst liabilities," such as neglecting to examine Iraq's deceptive behavior "through an Iraqi prism," for the failure to correctly assess the country's virtually non-existent WMD capabilities. The review was one in a series of reevaluations the agency produced of its own work after Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Archive obtained the analysis by filing a MDR request after noticing a footnote to it in a September 2006 report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. MDRs are similar to Freedom of Information Act requests but are more effective in cases where a specific record can be identified, such as by title and date. It took the CIA almost six years to release the report.
The National Security Archive is a non-governmental research organization and library based at the George Washington University. As the government declassifies more such materials in response to our FOIA and MDR requests, we will continue to make them widely available.

ReplyDeleteDisclosure: DNC Time
I met Colin Powell when I was in the Army...I'm not a violent person....but if I'd known then (My Lai, WMD, etc.) what I know now....his neck would at a minimum have an imprint of my hand and fingers on it...
ReplyDeleteS'pose I'm a domestic tewowwist now....oh well.
Hey, have heart. PBS has "9/11 Explosive Evidence" as #3 most watched, and #1 most recommended. And you can rent "Hidden In Plain Sight," "Mysteries 9/11," "Loose Change," and I'm sure several other 9/11 docs on Netflixs.
ReplyDeleteIt either means we're making progress, or that the plan is so far along it makes no difference now what the masses know.
Tell me why I opt for the latter.
I think you're correct....Those that did 9/11 moved on to other objectives...
ReplyDeleteJust watching psychopath Billy boy charm the unthinking at the DNC (interchangeable with RNC...)...I bet he used to practice his (emotion based) facial expressions in front of a mirror...
Scwewy wabbitt EOW. Twicks are for tewwowist kid molesters. No General achieves three of more stars without the skeletons hanging over their heads. Masonic Tailhookers boys club. I don't know if its part of the NAMBLA Yale Skull and Bones, but it's a wildfire in the Pentagon, joint chiefs and defense industries like DynCorp.
ReplyDeleteWhen JFK had planned to cut the budget, trim the fat, dissolve the CIA, they killed him. After that the two agreed to make sure there were enough stagings and terror to keep the money pumps operating. The catch-22 was that the armed forces were rarely used in these stagings because of the need for covert cover. Grenada, Liberia, Panama, Phillipines, Somalia staged events helped.
Thanks for your service EOW and thank you for your eyes wider open.
Thanks to you Puddy for your thought provoking insights.
ReplyDeleteYeah...JFK's 1961 speech to the press kind of sums it all up...too bad people don't read the whole thing and think....secret societies...Nah away with those conspiracies you nutter!!! Poor Tim Russert for asking those questions...RIP.
Just noticed I misspelled tewwowist....damn! I hate that ;-)
As to my eyes...they were wide shut for a long time...I thank the creative force for opening them....but sometimes...I do think about ignorance being bliss....
The Latter seconded here Michael. I have admitted it before. They are done. It's complete and the war is in full scale ops now.

"It's the Aliens" they took the towers down. The aliens are your neighbors. They are turning you into zombies with their dumb-down ray guns. Assad is one. His father killed JFK. Nirubuvians, they are coming. Quick, take the vaccine. We've been paying them trillions of dollars in gold not to attack. That's where the money has gone, we swear it. We had to lie to save you. There are et's and ufo's. Were waiting for Valient Thor from Venus. He's coming with the calvary from Sion. A savior, a new world leader, who will confirm the truth. They are genetically modifying us for food and cattle. They are making us kill sovereign leaders who wont pay the ransom. We liked Gaddafi, Saddam and Mubarek and but they wouldn't pony up. We had to kill them. We will have to kill Ahmijinadad too. Oh damned them for this. (sob-sob)

I don't either. Oh wait, I take that back, it's because sheeple are idiots. Mea Culpa, my bad.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I think Russert was whacked by the Vatican Assassins, Club of Rome. THe Pope blessed the sanction. He was an insider but not deeply. He found out quickly the inner cercle.
ReplyDeleteLike the devil ridden details of 911, who killed JFK? Well after all...it was you and me. Please to meet ya.
The American way of life was built upon the bloody purple mountains. Who wanted him dead. The Vatican, the Communists, The RothRocks, The MI6-CIA, The Pentagrammers, the Mafioso Club of Rome, the French Cercle and the Mossad Elders. Oh wait, I can call it the committee and confederates and save time.
I suspect there were a minimum of three, but likely five separate conspiracies, stagings and programs operating. It's the best strategy from the SunTzu 33.
Think how surprised the five teams were when none of them knew who did it. All they knew was that it wasn't them. But I'll bet they were shitting pyramids that it was a setup. That'll keep yer trap shut tighter than a nuns honeypot.
on soft and smart power,
