This article by Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times, published in last week's International Herald Tribune, describes the outrage and demoralization of U.S. Intelligence agents at having been used as puppets by Rumsfeld to decieve the American people and their leaders in the legislative and executive branches of government.

"The American people were manipulated," bluntly declares one person from the Defense Intelligence Agency who says he was privy to all the intelligence there on Iraq. These people are coming forward because they are fiercely proud of the deepest ethic in the intelligence world - that intelligence should be nonpolitical - and are disgusted at efforts to turn them into propagandists."
