Tyler Drumheller is the former head of CIA covert operations in Europe.
He says he saw firsthand how the White House promoted intelligence it liked and ignored intelligence it didn’t:
"The idea of going after Iraq was U.S. policy. It was going to happen one way or the other,"
Drumheller says he doesn't think it mattered very much to the administration what the intelligence community had to say:
"I think it mattered it if verified this basic belief that had taken hold in the U.S. government that now is the time. We had the means, all we needed was the will". [1]
