 A sacked CIA (news - web sites) official is reportedly suing the agency for allegedly retaliating against him for refusing to falsify his reports on Iraq (news - web sites)'s weapons of mass destruction to support the White House's pre-war position.

Described as a senior CIA official who was sacked in August "for unspecified reasons," the plaintiff's lawsuit appears to be the first public instance of a CIA official charging that he was pressured to produce intelligence to support the US government's pre-war contention that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were a grave threat to US and international security, The Washington Post reported.

1. This will be an interesting civil trial

2. A Congressional Medal of Honor is Due

to anyone who stood up to these coup-sters. A Medal of Freedom, and compensation, to anyone who survives this nightmare.

3. Where there's smoke, there's fire!

:kick:

I'm even more certain they manufactured the intel prior to the war now.

7. Yes! Very true and I think the Valerie Plame case is leading to that as

well, the forged yellowcake uranium documents. I think Fitzgerald has come upon that during his investigation of the leaker of Valerie Plame in the WH.

9. Same subject,...very different story.

This story is much more clear than the former one posted from a different source.

10. Same story, different wording

Re-read both articles, and they are the same stories with different wording. I see no real difference, or that this thread article is "much more clear" than the one posted earlier today.

12. Okay. n/t

5. Is this a different CIA official from the earlier report?

I read an earlier thread about a CIA person being retaliated against for failing to comply with CIA dogma back in 2001.

Is this a different person?

13. what annoys me the most is that this should be a huge story
