It was an internal DoD Inspector General report that found that Feith and his Office of Strategic Plans relied on "reporting of dubious quality or reliability" and "was predisposed to finding a significant relationship" between Iraq and al-Qaida" to justify the invasion.

Intelligence provided by former undersecretary of defense Douglas J. Feith to buttress the White House case for invading Iraq included "reporting of dubious quality or reliability" that supported the political views of senior administration officials rather than the conclusions of the intelligence community, according to a report by the Pentagon's inspector general.

Much like after the invasion, a DoJ IG report found that DoJ attorneys acted politically rather than judiciously, to justify torture.
Is that really the way "freedom fighters" should act?
