Report: the Report of the Commission on Intelligence on WMDs:
Source: Report to the President on WMDs, p.188-194
Politicization: Conclusion 26 The Intelligence Community did not make or change any analytic judgments in response to political pressure to reach a particular conclusion, but the pervasive conventional wisdom that Saddam retained WMD affected the analytic process.Conclusion 27 The CIA took too long to admit error in Iraq, and its Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and Arms Control Center actively discouraged analysts from investigating errors. ACCOUNTABILITY: Recommendation The Director of National Intelligence should hold accountable the organizations that contributed to the flawed assessments of Iraq's WMD programs.
