The report said the team headed by Douglas Feith, under secretary of defense for policy, developed “alternative” assessments of intelligence on Iraq that contradicted the intelligence community and drew conclusions “that were not supported by the available intelligence.” Mr. Feith certainly knew the Central Intelligence Agency would cry foul, so he hid his findings from the C.I.A. Then Vice President Dick Cheney used them as proof of cloak-and-dagger meetings that never happened, long-term conspiracies between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden that didn’t exist, and — most unforgivable — “possible Iraqi coordination” on the 9/11 attacks, which no serious intelligence analyst believed.

============================

...develped "alternative" assessments of intelligence = made up lies out of whole cloth.

...drew conclusions “that were not supported by the available intelligence.” = in effect, said that black was white and that day was night...

....hid his findings from the C.I.A. = had their own little corner office where they made up their own intelligence

....Vice President Dick Cheney used them as proof of cloak-and-dagger meetings that never happened, =
Dick conspired to deceive the American people and take us to war with lies.
