According to the Pentagon’s Inspector General, Douglas J. Feith the former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy used unreliable sources to buttress the White House case for invading Iraq. The Inspector General described his activities as “an alternative intelligence assessment process.” When Feith was reporting this all to the White House administration, the CIA had concluded that the only relationship between Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda was from evolving sources of varying reliability. This is quite different from what Feith was reporting as a close relationship. Vice President Dick Cheney told America on television that there was evidence of a meeting between Mohamed Atta, the leader of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, and an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001. This we know today has been discredited. But we still today are wrapped up in a war that has killed over 3100 troops and wounded more than 23,000 others. Can we blame Douglas Feith? Or should we blame his boss who authorized his activities?
