I've recently learned of an interesting resource that may be of interest to
others: Dr. Karen Kwiatkowski, a retired USAF Lt Col who spent her
final assignment as a political-military affairs officer in the Office of
the Secretary of Defense (http://www.militaryweek.com/kwiatkowski.shtml).

Basically, Karen worked alongside the Office of Special Plans (OSP, which
was originally created by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz to review raw information collected by the official
U.S. intelligence agencies for connections between Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein and al-Qaeda. In this capacity, she seems to have had unusual
insight into the claims that Rumsfeld et al exaggerated and manipulated
intelligence about Iraq before passing it along to the White House.

Here are a few links of interest:

"What I saw was aberrant, pervasive and contrary to good order and
discipline. If one is seeking the answers to why peculiar bits of
``intelligence'' found sanctity in a presidential speech, or why the
post-Hussein occupation has been distinguished by confusion and false steps,
one need look no further than the process inside the Office of the Secretary
of Defense."
