Former Top Mideast Analyst: Intel Misused

Foreign Affairs magazine (not to be confused with US Weekly) publishes a devastating essay by the one of the country’s most senior Near East intel officers.
“Intelligence was misused publicly to justify decisions already made ... and the intelligence community’s own work was politicized.”

Also in the mag, a think-tank guru writes that Washington should stop mistaking Iraq for Vietnam and start seeing it for what it really is.
