DESCRIPTION:
As the world concludes that Bush had little justification for his war on Iraq, Hoodwinked makes publicly available for the first time the primary source documents that show how intelligence on Iraq was consistently distorted, manipulated, and ignored by the administration. Compiled by National Security Archive analyst John Prados, these documents are reproduced, fully annotated, and placed in the context of a detailed narrative of the events leading up to the conflict. Expanded sections examine the four most contentious issues: the Iraqi nuclear program, unmanned aerial vehicles, uranium from Niger, and the question of Hussein's links to Al Qaeda and 9/11. The documents include the October 2002 CIA White Paper, October 2002 letter from CIA Director George Tenet to Senator Bill Graham, December 2002 State Dept./CIA Fact Sheet, May 2003 CIA/DIA paper on biological warfare production plants, and the June 2003 Pentagon press briefing.
