Seattle Times: Ex-CIA officer alleges agency retaliated after he didn't falsify report

Critics of the Iraq war have asserted the administration pressured analysts and operators to produce information that bolstered the case for invading Iraq.

No biological or chemical weapons have been found in Iraq. A subsequent CIA-led investigation found Iraq was nowhere near producing a nuclear weapon, as the administration had asserted.
