evidence to serve as justification to go to war with Baghdad, and in the alternative, Tehran. This story, if accurate, means that 9/11 now appears to have also been part of their work.
OSP is the Office of Special Plans set up by Paul Wolfowitz under the management of Douglas Feith, David Wurmser and Richard Perle. While it wasn't formally given that designation until September 2002, and was officially closed down the following June, what officers at the DIA called "the cell" came in with Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and were already an effective, cohesive policy center within the Office of Secretary of Defense and the newly-created Undersecretary for Intelligence, Stephen Cambone.
Another key component of the cell was the Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), an agency whose size and budget were classified. The CIFA was created by a directive from the Secretary of Defense (Number 5105.67) on February 19, 2002 and finally shut down in 2008. A lot of the bogus Iraq WMD intel came out of CIFA and its contractors, including the aluminum tubes studies cooked up by MZM.
