Senator Carl Levin Is A Liar

During his opening statement at the Hayden hearings, Senator Carl Levin, continued to suggest that intelligence was manipulated leading up to the Iraq war...


<<< Michigan Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, in his opening statement, said the two most recent CIA directors, Goss and George Tenet, had left the agency in disarray and presided over crucial intelligence failures, especially in advance of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

"One major question for me is whether General Hayden will restore analytical independence and objectivity at the CIA and speak truth to power or whether he will shape intelligence to support administration policy and mislead Congress and the American people as Director Tenet did," Levin said. >>>


It never ceases to amaze me that Democrats are more than willing to continue to push this debunked conspiracy. Levin continued to make these charges despite the fact that three separate and independent reports found no such distortion or manipulation of intelligence, including a Bipartisan Senate Select Committee report which states,

    Conclusion 83. The Committee did not find any evidence 
that Administration officials attempted to coerce,
influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments
related to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities.
    … Conclusion 84. The Committee found no evidence that the 
Vice President's visits to the Central Intelligence Agency
were attempts to pressure analysts, were perceived as
intended to pressure analysts by those who participated in
the briefings on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
programs, or did pressure analysts to change their
assessments.
And guess who was on the committee which gave us that report? One Senator Carl Levin of Michigan.
