New Memo about Cheney INC-Intel

Cheney and the ‘Raw’ Intelligence

Newsweek -December 15 Issue

...For months, Dick Cheney’s office has denied that the Vice President bypassed U.S. intelligence agencies to get intel reports from the Iraqi National Congress.

However, a memo obtained by Newsweek suggests that the INC last year was directly feeding intelligence reports about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and purported ties to terrorism to one of Vice President Dick Cheney’s top foreign- policy aides. Cheney staffers later pushed INC info—including defectors’ claims about WMD and terror ties—to bolster the case that Saddam’s government posed a direct threat to America. But the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies have strongly questioned the reliability of defectors supplied by the INC.
