Cheney's favorite leak

The vice president hails an "inaccurate" leak and provokes a new battle in the White House war with the intelligence community.

By Eric Boehlert

Jan. 27, 2004 (Salon.com) Vice President Dick Cheney's claim that a magazine article, based on leaked and unevaluated intelligence, definitively proved links between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden has triggered a new round in the Bush administration's conflict with the intelligence community.

"It's disgusting," said Vincent Cannistraro, the former CIA chief of counter-terrorism. "It's bullshit," said Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst who served in the agency's Near East division.
