GEN. HAYDEN: BUSH LIED ABOUT IRAQ

Another great catch by Crooks & Liars:

Levin: While the intelligence community was consistently dubious about links between Iraq and al-Qaeda, Mr Feith produced an alternative analysis asserting that there was a strong connection. Were you comfortable with Mr. Feith's office approach to intelligence analysis?

Hayden: No sir, I wasn't. I wasn't aware of a lot of the activity going on when it was contemporaneous with the running up to the war, but... no sir, I wasn't comfortable.

A little (dated) background on Feith:

Douglas J. Feith is the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. His responsibilities include the formulation of defense planning guidance and forces policy, Department of Defense relations with foreign countries and the Department’s role in U.S. Government interagency policy making.
