Ex-CIA agent says sacked for not faking Iraq WMD reports

[Ant]

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A sacked CIA (news - web sites) official has sued, alleging he was fired for refusing to fake reports supporting the White House position that Iraq (news - web sites) had weapons of mass destruction, local media said.

 Described as a senior CIA official who was sacked in August "for unspecified reasons," the lawsuit appeared to be the first public instance of a CIA agent charging he was pressured to concoct intelligence on Iraq.

The suit claims the unidentified ex agent was urged to produce reports in line with President George W Bush's contention that Iraq had illegal chemical or biological weapons, which threatened US and international security.

"Their official dogma was contradicted by his reporting and they did not want to hear it," attorney Roy Krieger told The Washington Post of his client.

How come the Democratic party did not challenge obviously false (obviously because if a handsome 21 year old Afghan guy from Toronto knows its false, then they should) intelligence information? Why did Democratic leaders prance around like stooges as they co signed support for Bushes war?
And when they appropriated $87 billion to fund it? Why did senior Democrats on the commitee that oversaw the hiring of the CIA Director give into Porter Goss' nomination despite him having too partisan a record and career to head an organization like the CIA? The answer is obvious.
