										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Republic has <a href="http://www.tnr.com/docprint.mhtml?i=20030630&amp;s=ackermanjudis063003">a long article by John B Judis &amp; Spencer Ackerman</a> detailing the subversion of the intelligence agencies to the political agenda of the pro-war hawks in the Bush Administration. The job of the Central Intelligence Agency is to provide the U.S. with credible information on threats to national security. Subverting it to fit a political agenda is the real threat to national security.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Had the administration accurately depicted the consensus within the intelligence community in 2002–that Iraq’s ties with Al Qaeda were inconsequential; that its nuclear weapons program was minimal at best; and that its chemical and biological weapons programs, which had yielded significant stocks of dangerous weapons in the past, may or may not have been ongoing–it would have had a very difficult time convincing Congress and the American public to support a war to disarm Saddam.”</p></blockquote>
