Report Warned Bush Team About Intelligence Suspicions
By DOUGLAS JEHL

snip>

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 - A high Qaeda official in American custody was identified as a likely fabricator months before the Bush administration began to use his statements as the foundation for its claims that Iraq trained Al Qaeda members to use biological and chemical weapons, according to newly declassified portions of a Defense Intelligence Agency document.

The document, an intelligence report from February 2002, said it was probable that the prisoner, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, "was intentionally misleading the debriefers" in making claims about Iraqi support for Al Qaeda's work with illicit weapons.

The document provides the earliest and strongest indication of doubts voiced by American intelligence agencies about Mr. Libi's credibility. Without mentioning him by name, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Colin L. Powell, then secretary of state, and other administration officials repeatedly cited Mr. Libi's information as "credible" evidence that Iraq was training Al Qaeda members in the use of explosives and illicit weapons.

3. Interesting information, chalk on up for our side if it get enough

4. Ah, I am unintentionally devious. My apologies
Made you look!

We need to investigate this and investigate what the DSM seems to show. More fuel for the fire that everyone, from the Congress on down, was lied to about the war.

I'd like to see them change this agenda. LOL!
