The forged documents suggesting that Iraq had attempted to procure "yellow cake" uranium from Niger were known to be forged by CIA long before Bush used them as an example of the Iraqi quest for WMD in his State of the Union Address. The CIA had informed the White House that the documents were false.
More importantly, however, the neoconservatives in the Bush Administration repeatedly criticized the CIA for not being hawkish enough on Iraqi WMD. They even went so far as setting up their own intelligence agency — the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans — because the intelligence they were getting from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency wasn't juicy enough for them. The Office of Special Plans relied heavily on "intelligence" from the Iraqi National Congress, a group of Iraqi exiles led by Ahmed Chalabi. The INC fed the Office of Special Plans intelligence reports and debriefings of defectors who spun fantastic tales about Saddam's supposed weapons.

Seymour Hersh, in the May 12 issue of the New Yorker, issued a scathing report on the Office of Special Plans and the Iraqi National Congress. His report and others that have come out since make clear that the blame for American intelligence regarding Iraq lays squarely at the feet of Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney

Pentagon Team on Iran Comes Under Fire

"They are running their own intelligence operation, including covert action, and are using contractors outside the government to do some of the leg work," said a former top CIA official. "Their area of work has been concentrated on Iraq, which is why the intelligence on WMD was so bad, but they have a much broader portfolio. The office is undergoing some scrutiny from inside the government given its poor track record and the lack of 'sanity checking' their products with the intelligence community. A lot of material they produce is not shared with CIA, not coordinated, and finds its way into public policy statements by the likes of Rumsfeld and Cheney."

7. They are a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER to the American People

Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, was interviewed by National Public Radio -- All Things Considered -- on Friday, May 30th. In that interview, it was mentioned that a group calling itself "Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity" was being formed. Larry Johnson believes that intelligence was misused. He indicated that there are analysts currently on active duty who are distraught at the "cooking of the books." He believed because the evidence did not exist, that this is outrageous. Moreover, he thought that the "Office of Special Plans" in the Department of Defense presents a clear and present danger, and that the Congress should investigate this. To illustrate his non-partisan position, he made certain to say that he votes Republican.

Bogus Intelligence, Foreign Policy and Crying Wolf-owitz

"The first draft of Powell's speech was written by Cheney's staff… At one point during the rehearsal, Powell tossed several pages in the air. "I'm not reading this," he declared. "This is bulls- - -." (1) "Powell reportedly told Straw he hoped that when the facts came out they wouldn't 'explode in their faces'." (2)

Down to this paragraph you can see why your tax dollars are hard at work (at an Idle) financing a multibillion dollar intelligence network. So a team of four guys in a basement office can do it by themselves ignoring any kind of resources that would be needed

They call themselves, self-mockingly, the Cabal -- a small cluster of policy advisers and analysts now based in the Pentagon’s "Office of Special Plans." In the past year, according to former and present Bush Administration officials, their operation, which was conceived by Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, has brought about a crucial change of direction in the American intelligence community.
According to the Pentagon adviser, "Special Plans" was created in order to find evidence of what Wolfowitz and his boss, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, believed to be true"

11. The Bushies 'run' this country like their own private company...

...and they're so brazen about it that they think they can hire 'contractors' outside the government to cook the books. Sounds rather like the Nixon administration's 'Plumbers'.

13. I think you might have hit upon the origin of the Niger story...

If and when the truth comes out...
