    I'm so old I remember when the CIA's intelligence on Iraq was an utter shit-show.

        Not only do I remember when CIA's shit-show intelligence started bogus war, but I remember how footnotes undermining shit-show dismissed.

        This report states clearly there is not 17 agency agreement here. Someone has a footnote abt aluminum tubes we should at least listen to.

        I thought the CIA report on Iraq was pretty measured and it was the Bush admin that twisted the findings but my memory is hazy

        Nah. There were 4 different reports showing that wasn't the case. Plus the UK one we laundered thru was bad too.

        is it not fait to point out a lot of the prewar buildup had to do with WH doing a run around of Intel services?

        CIA battling the WH over the fictitious Prague meeting, al-Libi etc seems to have gone down the memory hole

        Carl Levin tried to get that declassified as recently as 2014.

        Frontline on PBS this week rebroadcast some information about intel. The subject of story was more about ISIS.

        And despite the CIA's "money no object" budgets, they were caught totally offguard by the collapse of the USSR. #CIAcoup

        That is not true. Intel was invented by Bush appointees in the Pentagon to support his claims. CIA daily briefs said no WMDs.
