Via Kevin Drum and Tiny Revolution we get The Italian Letter by Peter Eiser and Knut Royce has some interesting revelations (Page 119) about Alan Foley, the head of the CIA's Weapons Intelligence Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Center (WINPAC), which led the CIA's analysis of Iraqi WMD:
".. December 2002, Foley called his senior production managers to his office. . "If the president wants to go to war, our job is to find the intelligence to allow him to do so." The directive was not quite an order to cook the books, but it was a strong suggestion that cherry-picking and slanting not only would be tolerated, but might even be rewarded."
