Look elsewhere

It seems like a few issues were missed in the rush to war in Iraq:

“A new book on the government’s secret anti-terrorism operations describes how the CIA recruited an Iraqi-American anesthesiologist in 2002 to obtain information from her brother, who was a figure in Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program.

“Dr. Sawsan Alhaddad of Cleveland made the dangerous trip to Iraq on the CIA’s behalf. The book said her brother was stunned by her questions about the nuclear program because — he said — it had been dead for a decade.”

This book appears to confirm that Western intelligence services are hopelessly inept and politically compromised in the years since September 11. The American people are increasingly waking up to this fact.
