The AP reports:
Pentagon officials undercut the intelligence community in the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq by insisting in briefings to the White House that there was a clear relationship between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, the Defense Department's inspector general said Friday.
Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the office headed by former Pentagon policy chief Douglas J. Feith took "inappropriate" actions in advancing conclusions on al-Qaida connections not backed up by the nation's intelligence agencies.
Gimble said that while the actions of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy "were not illegal or unauthorized," they "did not provide the most accurate analysis of intelligence to senior decision makers" at a time when the White House was moving toward war with Iraq.

A trillion dollar war is very lucrative for a select few people, despite the damage it does to the taxpayers and the attacked country. Is it any surprise that the military-industrial complex would fabricate intelligence to facilitate a war? Of course not! The mega-corporations profiting from the wars give cuts to the politicians to send us to these needless wars. While taxpayers get robbed and soldiers get killed, politicians and corporate criminals make profits.
This is just another reason to stop paying taxes.
