Julian Borger reports on the shadow rightwing intelligence network set up in Washington to second-guess the CIA and deliver a justification for toppling Saddam Hussein by force

Thursday July 17, 2003
The Guardian

"According to former Bush officials, all defence and intelligence sources, senior administration figures created a shadow agency of Pentagon analysts staffed mainly by ideological amateurs to compete with the CIA and its military counterpart, the Defence Intelligence Agency.
The agency, called the Office of Special Plans (OSP), was set up by the defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, to second-guess CIA information and operated under the patronage of hardline conservatives in the top rungs of the administration, the Pentagon and at the White House, including Vice-President Dick Cheney."

Office of Special Plans Behind Phony 'Intelligence'

"But the Office of Special Plans, using Iraqi defectors from the Iraqi National Congress as their main source, rewrote some of the CIA’s intelligence to say, undeniably, that Iraq was hiding some of the world’s most lethal weapons. Once the intelligence was rewritten, it was delivered to the office of National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, where it found its way into various public speeches given by Vice President Dick Cheney, Deputy Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Bush, the Senators said."

No enriched uranium found in Iran:UN

"Tehran, July 19 - The chief of the UN's Nuclear Watchdog has denied reports that inspectors found enriched uranium in samples taken recently in Iran, calling it "pure speculation at this stage," the Associated Press has reported."

"Mohamed Elbaradei, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told AP, "there's a lot of analysis we need to discuss...with Iran."

"We are not in any way ready to come up with a conclusion on that issue before we discuss all the results with the Iranian authorities."

"
Weapons expert Dr David Kelly told of "many dark actors playing games" in an e-mail to a journalist hours before his suicide, it was reported on Saturday.

The words appeared to refer to officials at the Ministry of Defence and UK intelligence agencies with whom he had sparred over interpretations of weapons reports, according to the New York Times"
