| Excellent analysis by Ray McGovern. As a military intelligence case officer and intelligence analyst for J2, Strategic Research & Analysis in Vietnam, I saw the abuse of intelligence where higher ups had their conclusions of what they wanted and worked backward to get the “right intel”. Those who operated like that were military careerists who didn’t care about searching for the truth. Here, you have neoconservatives with their own agenda who wanted to find intelligence to support their interventionist plans and certain careerists willing to go along.
