  • Chapter 22. Case Study
    CHAPTER Case Study 22 A Tale of Two NIEs he two cases discussed in this chapter provide contrasting insights into the pro- Tcess of preparing intelligence estimates in the United States. They are presented here as the basis for a capstone set of critical thinking questions that are tied to the material discussed throughout this text. In 1990, the National Intelligence Council produced a national intelli- gence estimate (NIE)—the most authoritative intelligence assessment pro- duced by the intelligence community—on Yugoslavia. Twelve years later, the National Intelligence Council produced an NIE on Iraq’s WMD program. The Yugoslavia NIE • Used a sound prediction methodology • Got it right distribute • Presented conclusions that were anathema to U.S.or policymakers • Had zero effect on U.S. policy The Iraqi WMD NIE, in contrast, • Used a flawed prediction methodologypost, • Got it wrong • Presented conclusions that were exactly what U.S. policymakers wanted to hear • Provided supportcopy, to a predetermined U.S. policy This case highlights the differences in analytic approaches used in the two NIEs. Both NIEs now are available online. The full text of the “Yugoslavia Trans- formed” NIEnot is available at https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/1990- 10-01.pdf. In 2014, the CIA released the most complete copy (with previously redacted material) of the original “Iraq’s Continuing Programs for Weapons of Mass Destruction” NIE. It is available at https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/ _general-reports-1/iraq_wmd/Iraq_Oct_2002.htm.Do The Yugoslavia NIE The opening statements of the 1990 Yugoslavia NIE contain four conclusions that were remarkably prescient: 420 Copyright ©2020 by SAGE Publications, Inc.

  • Curveball Saga
    Bob DROGIN & John GOETZ: The Curveball Saga Los Angeles Times 2005, November 20 THE CURVEBALL SAGA How U.S. Fell Under the Spell of 'Curveball' The Iraqi informant's German handlers say they had told U.S. officials that his information was 'not proven,' and were shocked when President Bush and Colin L. Powell used it in key prewar speeches. By Bob Drogin and John Goetz, Special to The Times The German intelligence officials responsible for one of the most important informants on Saddam Hussein's suspected weapons of mass destruction say that the Bush administration and the CIA repeatedly exaggerated his claims during the run-up to the war in Iraq. Five senior officials from Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, or BND, said in interviews with The Times that they warned U.S. intelligence authorities that the source, an Iraqi defector code-named Curveball, never claimed to produce germ weapons and never saw anyone else do so. According to the Germans, President Bush mischaracterized Curveball's information when he warned before the war that Iraq had at least seven mobile factories brewing biological poisons. Then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell also misstated Curveball's accounts in his prewar presentation to the United Nations on Feb. 5, 2003, the Germans said. Curveball's German handlers for the last six years said his information was often vague, mostly secondhand and impossible to confirm. "This was not substantial evidence," said a senior German intelligence official. "We made clear we could not verify the things he said." The German authorities, speaking about the case for the first time, also said that their informant suffered from emotional and mental problems.

Duggan Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science September 2011 Title: The War Lobby: Iraq and the Pursuit of U.S. Primacy Approved: _______________________________________________ Dr. Jane K. Cramer In my dissertation I argue that the invasion of Iraq was a part of a larger project by Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to reestablish the unconstrained use of U.S. military power after the defeat of Vietnam. The study presents the best evidence against the alternative explanations that the invasion of Iraq was the result of an overreaction to 9/11, the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction, a plan to spread democracy in the Middle East, a desire to protect Israel or a plan to profit from Iraqi oil.

  • Leading to War __ a Film That Chronicles the Path to War in Iraq
    How did the U.S. government lead its people to war? A Mechanism for War Bush Administration Claims vs. The Rhetoric and Spin Facts War Through Rose-Colored Glasses Abuses and Misuses of Intelligence A Mythic Reality No mobile biological weapons labs were found in Iraq Items of Note Bush Administration Claims vs. The Facts Pre-War Claims: No weapons of mass destruction found Senior members of the Bush administration claimed that Iraq possessed truck- No mobile biological weapons labs mounted and train-mounted mobile biological weapons laboratories. Iraq did not seek to acquire yellowcake uranium Aluminum tubes not for nuclear weapons Facts: Mohamed Atta did not meet with Iraqis There is no evidence of the existence of mobile bioweapons laboratories. Iraq did not provide training to al-Qaeda The chief source for the Bush administration’s claim was an Iraqi defector, No collaboration between Iraq and al-Qaeda codenamed “Curveball.” Prior to the invasion of Iraq, British intelligence, German Iraq was not involved in the attacks of 9/11 intelligence, and analysts from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA determined that Curveball was a fabricator, and was therefore completely unreliable The Costs of War as an intelligence source. Three other Iraqi defectors who corroborated Curveball’s claims were also found to be fabricators. By May 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency issued an official “fabrication notice” instructing other intelligence agencies to disregard the defector's information as unreliable.
