Monday, August 01, 2005 Another CIA Agent Smeared by Bush & Co? NY Times: A CIA officer, an employee at the agency for more than 20 yrs, including several years in a clandestine unit assigned to gather intelligence related to illicit weapons, was fired in 2004. This agent says that in the spring of 2001 that Iraq had abandoned a major element of its nuclear weapons program, but the agency did not share the information w/ other agencies or w/ senior policy makers. This agent says that just like in the Plame case, he brought unwelcome information on WMD in the period prior to the Iraq invasion, and retribution followed. |
