Contrary to speculation and some earlier reports, the Department of Defense Inspector General's office did not exonerate the controversial Office of Special Plans, which has been accused of cooking pre-war intelligence on Iraq, nor was its then chief overseer, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Douglas Feith, vindicated.

According to a statement released by Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) Thursday night to RAW STORY, the IG's report is a "devastating condemnation of the activities of the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy." In a separate statement, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, states that whether the intelligence activities "were authorized or not, it appears that they were not in compliance with the law."

Pointing the finger higher up and directly at former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his then Deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, the IG concluded, according to Levin's statement, that Feith's "inappropriate activities were authorized by the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary of Defense."

1. Makes sense why Wolfie is at the World Bank

As the President of the World Bank cannot be prosecuted for anything, by anyone

2. To be accurate, investigation concluded SecDef or DepSecDef lied about intell to justify war

Bush wasn't identified (explicitly).

3. Duh!

This is merely additional confirmation :shrug:

4. They're merely throwing Fieth under the bus... He's the new Brownie...

...only Fieth can't run around trying to clear his name like Brown's doing. Brownie at least had a leg to stand on... Ole Douglas is in a world of shit and I suspect he knows it. I'm sure he won't mind taking the bullet for the team.

5. Rumsferatu & Wolfie are also implicated...

6. True but Fieth is the name they keep pounding down our throats...

In Katrina, Bush, Chertoff and others took some responsibility but Brownie was the fall guy... Same situation here... Wolfowitz, Rummy and of course Cheney will take a hit but it's Feith who's left to twist in the wind.
