Other sources concur. "There was no intelligence estimate done, and there weren't a lot of questions being asked," says Melvin Goodman, a former CIA analyst with the Center for International Policy. "And I know for a fact that at CIA and NESA [the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs], none of them thought that postwar Iraq would be governable." Goodman says that CIA and DIA experts on Iraq were not called in by the Pentagon, and no intelligence roundtables were held to evaluate the situation.

The Center for International Policy is the Marxist group headed by William Goodfellow, a/k/a Mr. Dana Priest.

Yes, this whole incestuous VIPS - CIP - Joe Wilson cabal turns up over and over and over again. Here it's Goodman and Ray McGovern quoted by name, and very likely Joe Wilson and Larry Johnson quoted anonymously. If there were any REAL reporters out there they would have been unravelling this stuff 3 years ago!! Just follow the links among Larry Johnson, Joe Wilson, Ray McGovern, Melvin Goodman, Patrick Lang, William Goodfellow, and the leftist reporters who have been their whores...... THERE SHOULD BE NO MORE UNNAMED SOURCES ALLOWED on this stuff - the MSM must be ripped open and raked over the coals, every reporter who has flogged these false stories must be made to come clean.
