I think we knew this

MANIFESTO

I know that this has been posted elsewhere, but it gives one pause to have it substantiated that

Intelligence provided by former undersecretary of defense Douglas J. Feith to buttress the White House case for invading Iraq included "reporting of dubious quality or reliability" that supported the political views of senior administration officials rather than the conclusions of the intelligence community, according to a report by the Pentagon's inspector general ...

In a telephone interview yesterday, Feith emphasized the inspector general's conclusion that his actions, described in the report as "inappropriate," were not unlawful. "This was not 'alternative intelligence assessment,' " he said. "It was from the start a criticism of the consensus of the intelligence community, and in presenting it I was not endorsing its substance."

Two things: I think just about everybody who has a brain in his head knew that intelligence regarding Iraq was being reworked prior to March, 2003. This just shows that those suspicions were justified.

Second, this incident certainly doesn't contradict General Tommy Franks' impression of Doug Feith.
