The Senate intelligence committee is preparing to issue its 450-page report today on the failures of the US intelligence community in the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. The report will strongly criticize the CIA and other intelligence agencies. Republican Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine said “It is a stunning indictment of the status quo that should sound the alarm for major structural reform.” The report however does not examine whether the White House politicized the intelligence to make a case for war.
