Criminal Justifications for 2003 Iraqi Invasion Conflicts With 2015 Release of NIE Report
The document that was used by the United States as its premise for invading Iraq in 2003 is called “The National Intelligence Estimate on Weapons of Mass Destruction,” or NIE. After delays and redactions, a new and cleaner version was finally released in 2015. It can be read here. The details within it bear no resemblance to the claims the Crime Syndicate was asserting leading up to the invasion.
Once again, we are met with the bogus Hanlon’s Razor of incompetence and blunders versus malice. An apologist report issued by the RAND Corporation titled “Blinders, Blunders and Wars” said the NIE “contained several qualifiers that were dropped … As the draft NIE went up the intelligence chain of command, the conclusions were treated increasingly definitively.”
