Ex-agent says CIA wanted false data
By Reuters

WASHINGTON -- A fired CIA agent, whom a newspaper says told superiors in 2001 that Iraq had abandoned part of its nuclear program, is asking the FBI to investigate allegations that the spy agency dismissed him for refusing to falsify intelligence.

A July 11 letter to FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III from the former agent's lawyer suggests that CIA officials may be guilty of criminal violations involving intelligence he produced on weapons of mass destruction in 2000 that contradicted an official agency position.

The lawyer, Roy Krieger, said his client initially asked the CIA's inspector general to investigate allegations that CIA officials had pressured him to alter the intelligence and retaliated when he refused. But the inspector general rebuffed his request.
The former agent was fired for unspecified reasons in September 2004, the letter says.

1. That would be the BushCo/neoCON's "CIA", I assume.
}( I presume this will also tie into the DSM and WHIG and the whole conspiracy to defraud the entire nation.

3. Oh of course
In December or late November Bush was purging the CIA. Probably firing those who didn't comply with his wishes such as this person. He purged them and said anybody who isn't a "yes" person had to go. Simply disgusting.

4. Scared shitless?
:shrug: Concerned about losing his job and supporting his kids? :shrug: Confused about what the hell was happening? :shrug:

What difference does it make?

Isn't the important point that he's coming forward now?
