fix - to make firm, stable - to give a permanent or final
form to.....

From the leaked "secret" memo....

C reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime's record.

So this "C" dude gave a verbal report that claims
that, "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the
policy", without direct attribution to Bush or his Admin.

I'm no expert in the nuances of the various dialects of
British English, but this sounds like much ado about nothing.
Sounds to me like the "intelligence and facts were being"
made firm & stable to give final form to their "policy".

But hey! if this verbal report by one person is enough to
completely nullify the Senate Intelligence Commission Report,
the Iraq Survey Group report & even the 9/11 Commission
report, have at it.

I'll stick with known facts rather than try to massage the
word "fixed" into some kind of smoking gun.
