The
CIA and Iraq
An
Intelligence Debacle...and Worse
By
RAY McGOVERN
Former
CIA analyst
In our various oral and written presentations
on Iraq my veteran intelligence officer colleagues and I took
no delight in sharply criticizing what we perceived to be the
corruption of intelligence analysis at CIA. Nothing would have
pleased us more than to have been proven wrong. It turns out
we did not know the half of it.
Several of us have just spent
a painful weekend digesting the report of the Senate Intelligence
Committee on prewar intelligence assessments on Iraq. The corruption
is far deeper than we suspected. The only silver lining is that
the corrupter-in-chief, George Tenet, is now gone.
When the former CIA Director
departed Sunday, he left behind an agency on life support-an
institution staffed by sycophant managers and thoroughly demoralized
analysts. The analysts are embarrassed at their own naiveté
in believing that the passage carved into the marble at the entrance
to CIA Headquarters-"You will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free"-held real meaning for their work.
The Senate Committee report
is meticulous. Its findings are a sharp blow to those of us
who took pride in working in an agency where we could speak truth
to power-with career protection from retribution from the powerful,
and with leaders who would face down those policymakers who tried
to exert undue influence over our analysis.
Enter "Joe
Centrifuge"
Although it was clear to us
that much of the intelligence on Iraq had been cooked to the
recipe of policy, not until the Senate report did we know that
the skewing included outright lies. We had heard of "Joe,"
the nuclear weapons analyst in CIA's Center for Weapons Intelligence
and Arms Control, and it was abundantly clear that his agenda
was to "prove" that the infamous aluminum tubes sought
by Iraq were to be used for developing a nuclear weapon. We
did not know that he and his CIA associates falsified the data-including
rotor testing ironically called "spin tests."
The Senate committee determined
that "Joe" deliberately skewed data to fit preconceptions
regarding an Iraqi nuclear threat. "Who could have believed
that about our intelligence community, that the system could
be so dishonest?" wondered the normally soft-spoken David
Albright, a widely respected veteran expert on Iraq's work toward
developing a nuclear weapon.
I share his wonderment. I
too am appalled-and angry. You give 27 years of your professional
life to an institution whose main mission-to get at the truth-is
essential for orderly policy making, and then you find it has
been prostituted. You realize that your former colleagues have
lacked the moral courage needed to stave off the effort to enlist
them as accomplices in deceiving our elected representatives
into giving their blessing to an ill-conceived, unnecessary war.
Even Republican stalwart Sen. Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, has conceded that, had Congress known
before the vote for war what his committee has now discovered,
"I doubt if the votes would have been there."
Pandering
to the "Powers That Be"
It turns out that only one
US analyst had met with the now-infamous Iraqi defector appropriately
codenamed "Curveball," the source of the scarytale
about mobile biological weapons factories. This analyst, in
an e-mail to the deputy director of CIA's task force on weapons
of mass destruction, raised strong doubt regarding Curveball's
reliability before Colin Powell highlighted his claims at the
UN on Feb. 5, 2003. I almost became physically ill reading the
cynical response from the deputy director of the task force:
"As I said last night,
let's keep in mind the fact that this war's going to happen regardless
of what Curveball said or didn't say, and the powers that be
probably aren't terribly interested in whether Curveball knows
what he's talking about."
(Reading this brought to consciousness
a painful flashback to early August 1964. We CIA analysts knew
that reports of a second attack on US destroyers in the Tonkin
Gulf were spurious but were prevented from reporting that to
policymakers and to Congress. The then-Director of Current Intelligence
explained to us condescendingly that President Johnson had decided
to use the non-incident as a pretext to escalate the war and
that "we do not want to wear out our welcome at the White
House." So this kind of politicization, though rare in
the past, is not without precedent-and not without similarly
woeful consequences.)
With respect to Iraq, George
Tenet's rhetoric about "truth" and "honesty"
in his valedictory last week has a distinctly Orwellian ring.
Worse still, apparently "Joe Centrifuge," the abovementioned
deputy director, and other co-conspirators will get off scot-free.
Sen. Roberts says he thinks "It is very important that
we quit looking in the rearview mirror and affixing blame and,
you know, pointing fingers." And Acting Director John McLaughlin
has told the press that he sees no need to dismiss anyone as
a result of what he portrayed as honest, limited mistakes.
Tell It
To The Families
I would like to hear Roberts
and McLaughlin explain all this to the families of the almost
900 US servicemen and women already killed and the many thousand
seriously wounded in Iraq.
Roberts seemed at pains to
lay the blame on a "flawed system," but a close reading
of the committee report yields the unavoidable conclusion that
CIA analysis can no longer be assumed to be honest-to be aimed
at getting as close to the truth as one can humanly get. For
those of you cynics about to smirk, I can only tell you-believe
it or not-that truth was in fact the currency of analysis in
the CIA in which I was proud to serve.
Aberrations like the Tonkin
Gulf cave-in by CIA management notwithstanding, the analysis
directorate was widely known as the unique place in Washington
where one could normally go and expect a straight answer unencumbered
by any political agenda. And we were hard into some very controversial-often
critical-national security issues. It boggles my mind how any
president, and particularly one whose father headed the CIA,
could expect to be able, without that capability, to make intelligent
judgments based on unbiased fact.
It is said that truth is the
first casualty of war. Sadly, in the case of Iraq, even before
the war truth took a back seat to a felt need to snuggle up to
power-to stay in good odor with a president and his advisers,
all well known to be hell-bent on war on Iraq.
Caution:
Don't Be Fooled
The Washington Times
lead story on July 10 began: "Flawed intelligence that led
the United States to invade Iraq was the fault of the US intelligence
communitya report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
concluded yesterday." From the other end of the political
spectrum, David Corn of The Nation led his own report
with, "The United States went to war on the basis of false
claims."
Not so. This is precisely the spin that the
Bush administration wants to give to the Senate report; i. e.,
that the president was misled; that his decision for war was
based on spurious intelligence about non-existent weapons of
mass destruction.
But the president's decision
for war had little to do with intelligence on Iraqi weapons of
mass destruction. It had everything to do with the administration's
determination to gain control of strategic, oil-rich Iraq, implant
an enduring military presence there, and-not incidentally--eliminate
any possible threat from Iraq to Israel's security.
These, of course, were not
the reasons given to justify placing US troops in harms way,
but even the most circumspect senior officials have had unguarded
moments of candor. For example, when asked in May 2003 why North
Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz responded, "Let's look at it simplyThe
country (Iraq) swims on a sea of oil."
And basking in the glory of
"Mission Accomplished" shortly after Baghdad had fallen,
Wolfowitz admitted that the focus on weapons of mass destruction
to justify the attack on Iraq was "for bureaucratic reasons."
It was, he added, "the one reason everyone could agree
on"-meaning, of course, the one that could successfully
sell the war to Congress and the American people.
The Israel factor? In another
moment of unusual candor-this one before the war-Philip Zelikow,
a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board
from 2001 to 2003 (and now executive director of the 9/11 commission),
pointed to the danger that Iraq posed to Israel as "the
unstated threat-a threat that dare not speak its namebecause
it is not a popular sell."
Last, but hardly least. It
was not until several months after the Bush White House
decided to make war on Iraq that the weapons-of-mass-destruction-laden
National Intelligence Estimate was commissioned, and then only
because Congress needed to be persuaded that the threat was so
immediate that war was necessary. Vice President Dick Cheney
set the main parameters in a major speech on August 26, 2002,
in which he declared, "We know that Saddam has resumed his
efforts to acquire nuclear weapons." The estimate Tenet
signed dutifully endorsed that spurious judgment-with "high
confidence," no less.
Is There
Hope?
If hope is what is found at
the bottom of Pandora's box, it can be found here too. That
there are still honest, perceptive analysts at CIA is clear from
the analysis that Anonymous sets forth in his excellent book,
Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror.
(Note to Condoleezza Rice: Anonymous' name is Michael Scheuer;
he is an overt employee; you can get his extension from the CIA
operator-just call 703 482 1100.)
As long as analysts of Scheuer's
caliber hang in there, there can be hope that, once the CIA is
given the adult supervision it has lacked for the last two dozen
years, it can get back on track in performing its critical job
for our country.
