Thanks for the help on that, the record is ever so useful. The director of the Office is but one person; ties to Perle? Rand Corporation? Wolfowitz? Direct links to Cheney's right hand? [sarcasm] Sure, he's not political. Yeah, he was unbiased I am sure. [sarcasm off] At any rate, if you are going to quote passages from disinfopedia.org then you should include these gems: 1. Sulksky reports to Feith. 2. Feith: In August 2002, Feith and DIA analyst Chris Carney discuss Iraq's alleged ties to al-Qaeda to the CIA. CIA analysts immediately recognize that the Feith's allegations comes from discredited sources. The information will nevertheless be included in speeches by George W. Bush and in CIA director George J. Tenet's Congressional testimony. Feith distributes a classified memo to the Senate Intelligence Committee based on this information, and the memo is later leaked to the Weekly Standard, a neoconservative magazine. - Chalabi is one of those discredited sources; It appeared that he [Chalabi] was being sidelined by Washington because he and his organisation were one of the sources for intelligence about Iraq's weapons of destruction capability that is now widely viewed as faulty. news.bbc.co.uk - the so-called nuclear smoking gun - tubes which could not be used for uranium enrichment, but Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Powell/Rice claimed "could only be used" for that purpose - is another false information point used to support the conclusion they wanted. Now we come full circle - the Lt. Col. who you would like to discredit was no ordinary Lt. Col. among many in the Pentago, she worked directly for Feith. "'He was very arrogant,' [Lt. Col.] Karen Kwiatkowski, Feith’s former deputy, says, describing what it was like to work with him. 'He doesn't utilize a wide variety of inputs. He seeks information that confirms what he already thinks. And he may go to jail for leaking classified information to The Weekly Standard.' (As she explains, an article appeared in The Weekly Standard that included a leaked memo written by Feith alleging ties between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.)
