Newly released documents confirm that a Pentagon unit knowingly cooked up
intelligence claiming a direct link between Iraq and al-Qaeda in order to win
support for a preemptive strike against the country.

A report prepared by the Defense Department's Inspector General for Carl

shows how former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith used his
defense department position to cook intelligence claiming a connection between
the terrorist organization and Saddam Hussein's regime.
