Wolfowitz         Committee Instructed White House To Use Iraq/Uranium Ref In Pres 
Speech?                  

By Jason         Leopold
07/16/03: (Information         Clearing House) WASHINGTON,         D.C--A Pentagon 
committee led by Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of         Defense, advised 
President Bush to include a reference in his January         State of the Union address 
about Iraq trying to purchase 500 tons of         uranium from Niger to bolster the case 
for war in Iraq, despite the fact         that the CIA warned Wolfowitz?s committee that the 
information was         unreliable, according to a CIA intelligence official and four 
members of         the Senate?s intelligence committee who have been investigating the         
issue.                  

 The         Senators and the CIA official said they could be forced out of         government 
and brought up on criminal charges for leaking the         information to this reporter 
and as a result requested anonymity. The         Senators said they plan to question CIA 
Director George Tenet Wednesday         morning in a closed-door hearing to find out 
whether Wolfowitz and         members of a committee he headed misled Bush and if the 
President knew         about the erroneous information prior to his State of the Union 
address.                          

Spokespeople         for Wolfowitz and Tenet vehemently denied the accusations. Dan 
Bartlett,         the White House communications director, would not return repeated calls         
for comment.                  

The         revelations by the CIA official and the senators, if true, would prove         that 
Tenet, who last week said he erred by allowing the uranium         reference to be 
included in the State of the Union address, took the         blame for an intelligence 
failure that he was not responsible for. The         lawmakers said it could also lead to a 
widespread probe of prewar         intelligence.                  

 At         issue is a secret committee set up in 2001 by Defense Secretary Donald         
Rumsfeld called the Office of Special Plans, which was headed by         Wolfowitz, Abrum 
Shulsky and Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense         for Policy, to probe 
allegations links between Iraq and the terrorist         organization al-Qaeda and whether 
the country was stockpiling a cache of         weapons of mass destruction. The Special 
Plans committee disbanded in         March after the start of the war in Iraq.                  

 The         committee?s job, according to published reports, was to gather         
intelligence information on the Iraqi threat that the CIA and FBI could         not uncover 
and present it to the White House to build a case for war in         Iraq. The committee 
relied heavily on information provided by Iraqi         defector Ahmad Chalabi, who has 
provided the White House with reams of         intelligence on Saddam Hussein?s weapons 
programs that has been         disputed. Chalabi heads the Iraqi National Congress, a 
group of Iraqi         exiles who have pushed for regime change in Iraq.                  

The         Office of Special Plans, according to the CIA official and the senators,         
routinely provided Bush, Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and         National 
Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice with questionable intelligence         information on the 
Iraqi threat, much of which was included in various         speeches by Bush and Cheney 
and some of which was called into question         by the CIA.                  

In the months leading         up to the war in Iraq, Rumsfeld became increasingly 
frustrated that the         CIA could not find any evidence of Iraq?s chemical, biological 
and         nuclear weapons program, evidence that would have helped the White House         
build a solid case for war in Iraq.

In an article in the         New York Times last October, the paper reported that Rumsfeld 
had         ordered the Office of Special Plans to ?to search for information on         Iraq?s 
hostile intentions or links to terrorists? that might have         been overlooked by the 
CIA.

The CIA official and         the senators said that?s when Wolfowitz and his committee 
instructed         the White House to have Bush use the now disputed line about Iraq?s         
attempts to purchase 500 tons of uranium from Niger in a speech the         President 
was set to give in Cincinnati. But Tenet quickly intervened         and informed Stephen 
Hadley, an aide to National Security Adviser Rice,         that the information was 
unreliable.                  

 Patrick Lang, a former         director of Middle East analysis at the Defense Intelligence 
Agency,         said in an interview with the New Yorker magazine in May that the Office         
of Special Plans ?started picking out things that supported their         thesis and 
stringing them into arguments that they could use with the         President. It?s not 
intelligence. It?s political propaganda.?

Lang said the CIA and         Office of Special Plans often clashed on the accuracy of 
intelligence         information provided to the White House by Wolfowitz.

Investigative reporter         Seymour Hersh, the author of a May New Yorker story on the 
Office of         Special Plans, reported, ?former CIA officers and analysts described         
the agency as increasingly demoralized. George knows he?s being beaten         up,? one 
former officer said of George Tenet, the CIA director. ?And         his analysts are 
terrified. George used to protect his people, but         he?s been forced to do things their         
way.? Because the CIA?s analysts are now on the defensive, ?they         write reports 
justifying their intelligence rather than saying what?s         going on. The Defense 
Department and the Office of the Vice-President         write their own pieces, based on 
their own ideology. We collect so much         stuff that you can find anything you want.?

?They see themselves         as outsiders, ? a former C.I.A. expert who spent the past 
decade         immersed in Iraqi-exile affairs said of the Special Plans people, told         
Hersh. He added, ?There?s a high degree of paranoia. They?ve         convinced 
themselves that they?re on the side of angels, and everybody         else in the 
government is a fool.?

By last fall, the White         House had virtually dismissed all of the intelligence on Iraq 
provided         by the CIA, which failed to find any evidence of Iraq?s weapons         
programs, in favor of the more critical information provided to the Bush         
administration by the Office of Special Plans

        

?                  

        

Hersh reported that the         Special Plans Office ?developed a close working 
relationship with the         (Iraqi National Congress), and this strengthened its position in         
disputes with the C.I.A. and gave the Pentagon?s pro-war leadership         added 
leverage in its constant disputes with the State Department.         Special Plans also 
became a conduit for intelligence reports from the         I.N.C. to officials in the White 
House.?
  In a rare Pentagon briefing recently, Office of Special Plans         co-director 
Douglas Feith, said the committee was not an ?intelligence         project,? but rather an 
group of 18 people that looked at intelligence         information from a different point of 
view.

 Feith said when the         group had new ?thoughts? on intelligence information it was 
given;         they shared it with CIA director Tenet.

 ?It was a matter of         digesting other people's intelligence,? Feith said of the main 
duties         of his group. ?Its job was to review this intelligence to help digest         it for 
me and other policy makers, to help us develop Defense Department         strategy for 
the war on terrorism.?
