Better late than never, CBS News’ 60 Minutes<\/i> details how the Bush inner-circle misused dubious intelligence to convince the American people to back a preemptive war on Iraq. <\/p>\n

Ed Bradley interviews Tyler Drumheller, a retired CIA official who saw first-hand evidence<\/a> of how the Bush team used selective (and discredited) intelligence to support war plans which had already been set.<\/p>\n

This 13 minute video is the complete broadcast from Sunday night’s edition of 60 minutes. <\/p>\n

UPDATE FROM BRAD:<\/b> First, thanks David for getting this up, since I only caught the last part of the report when it aired last night. Secondly, please see Josh Marshall’s comments<\/a> on this story, as he posted additional information last night to advance the story. His report includes new details from Drumheller last night that he’d been interviewed by the two Senate committees supposedly investigating the Bush Administration’s pre-war use of intel (the Silberman-Robb committee and the Pat Roberts Senate Intel committee), but in both cases the folks working on the reports seem to have completely ignored Drumheller’s testimony. Josh’s reporting would seem to suggest that both reports should now be viewed as extremely<\/i> suspect at best, a completely unreliable white wash at worst.<\/p>\n

MORE…<\/b> TPMMuckraker has more<\/a>, this time showing how the White House’s own WMD report conflicts with the information from 60 Minutes<\/i> and Drumheller. And how the White House report seems to have twisted the facts to place blame on the Intelligence Communities for their own policy “failures” in selling the horseshit about Uraniam, Iraq and Niger to the American public in the mislead up to war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
