From the London Guardian: White House 'exaggerating Iraqi threat'

No, really? I thought this was an administration of truth and integrity.

And I quote:

"Officials in the CIA, FBI and energy department are being put under intense pressure to produce reports which back the administration's line, the Guardian has learned. In response, some are complying, some are resisting and some are choosing to remain silent.

"'Basically, cooked information is working its way into high-level pronouncements and there's a lot of unhappiness about it in intelligence, especially among analysts at the CIA,' said Vincent Cannistraro, the CIA's former head of counter-intelligence."

AND

"But some of the key allegations against the Iraqi regime were not supported by intelligence currently available to the administration. Mr Bush repeated a claim already made by senior members of his administration that Iraq has attempted to import hardened aluminium tubes 'for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons'. ... However, US government experts on nuclear weapons and centrifuges have suggested that they were more likely to be used for making conventional weapons.

"'I would just say there is not much support for that [nuclear] theory around here,' said a department of energy specialist."

What a shocker.
