Falty view of reality by today CIA, while mission was to hold
"central " well.



IT IS BEYOND CAPACITY TO BE REPAIRED - IS THE JUDGEMENT;

     IT IS ALREADY  PRONOUNCED.

TODAY IS NOT JUST SUSKIND'S CRITICISM.

A Statement: Hardly “The Way of the World”

August 22, 2008

In his book, “The Way of the World,” author Ron Suskind makes some
serious charges about the CIA and Iraq. As Agency officers current and
former have made clear, those charges are false. More than that, they
are not in keeping with the way CIA works. In fact, they are
profoundly offensive to the men and women who serve here, as they
should be to all Americans.

Suskind claims that, in September 2003, the White House ordered then-
Director George Tenet to fabricate a letter describing a level of
cooperation between Saddam Hussein and al-Qa’ida that simply did not
exist. The White House has denied making that request, and Director
Tenet has denied receiving it. The former Agency officers Suskind
cites in his narrative have, for their part, publicly denied being
asked to carry out such a mission.

Those denials are powerful in and of themselves. But they are also
backed by a thorough, time-consuming records search within CIA and by
interviews with other officers—senior and junior alike—who were
directly involved in Iraq operations. To assert, as Suskind does, that
the White House would request such a document, and that the Agency
would accept such a task, says something about him and nothing about
us. It did not happen. Moreover, as the public record shows, CIA had
concluded—and conveyed to our customers—that the ties between Saddam
Hussein and al-Qa’ida were not as close as some believed.
