DECLASSIFIED: CIA Letter Shows US Had Grave Doubts About Iraq Link to 9/11

Much of the information the American public — and the world, was told by United States officials leading up to the Iraq war revolved around Bush and Cheney’s insistance that Sadam Hussein and Iraq were somehow involved in the horrific events of Septemeber 11, 2001. Our country’s leaders repeatedly alluded to Iraqi involvement highlighting a supposed meeting between alledged highjacker Mohamed Atta and an Iraqi spy in Prague.

RawStory reports,

… in a letter sent to US Senator Carl Levin in March this year and just now declassified, CIA Director John Brennan said field agents had “expressed significant concern” over the report.

The letter said US agents had not established Atta was in Prague — evidence suggest that he was not — at the time he is supposed to have met Iraqi agent Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani.

In a Senate speech, Levin said of the declassification of the letter,

“[The] alleged meeting was a centerpiece of the administration’s campaign to create an impression in the public mind that Saddam was in league with the Al-Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. On multiple occasions, including national television appearances, Vice President Dick Cheney cited reports of the meeting, at one point calling it ‘pretty well confirmed.”
