Documents
reveal PR push for Iraq war preceded intel findings

New documents from within the Bush administration and US
intelligence community during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq
reveal that the White House began assembling a case for war
before it had compiled the intel that ostensibly formed the
basis of that case.
A
new report on the documents from George Washington
University's National Security Archive also presents compelling
evidence that the Bush administration pressured the CIA and
other intelligence agencies to tailor their reports to back-up
Bush's desire to invade. The report suggests the bulk of this
effort was run out of Vice President Dick Cheney's office,
backing up numerous other post-war examinations of the path to
invasion that saw Cheney as the mastermind of the plan to oust
Saddam Hussein.
