Feith … who was described by … Gen Tommie Franks, as “the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth”, has been at the center of virtually everything else that has gone wrong in Iraq … It was his office, for example, that created shortly after 9\/11 the Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group and the Office of Special Plans (OSP) which re-assessed 12 years of raw intelligence and the Arab press, to find evidence of ties between the regime of former Iraq President Saddam Hussein and the al-Qaeda terrorist group … It was Feith’s office, along with the Defense Policy Group (DPG) whose members Feith appointed, that served as the point of entry and influence for Iraqi National Congress (INC) chief Ahmed Chalabi and his “defectors” who provided phony intelligence about Hussein’s vast stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). It was Feith’s office that was charged with planning the post-war occupation and reconstruction process … Colin Powell is alleged by Woodward to have referred to Feith’s operation as the “Gestapo Office”.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
