WASHINGTON - A senior CIA operative who handled sensitive informants in
Iraq asserts that CIA managers asked him to falsify his reporting on
weapons of mass destruction and retaliated against him after he refused.
The operative, who remains under cover, claims in a lawsuit made public
yesterday that a co-worker warned him in 2001 "that CIA management
planned to 'get him' for his role in reporting intelligence contrary to
official CIA dogma."  

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

By Dana Priest 
The Washington Post  

The subject of that reporting has been blacked out by the CIA, and the
word "Iraq" does not appear in the heavily redacted version of the
complaint, but other language and context make clear the officer's work
related to prewar intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.  

In the lawsuit, the officer asserts CIA managers retaliated for refusing
their demands by beginning a counterintelligence investigation of
allegations he had sex with a female contact and by initiating an
inspector general's investigation into allegations that he stole money
meant to be used to pay contacts.  

The lawsuit marks the first public instance in which a CIA employee has
charged directly that agency officials pressured him to produce
intelligence to support the Bush administration's prewar position that
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were a grave and gathering threat, and
to suppress information that ran counter to that view.  

"Their official dogma was contradicted by his reporting, and they did not
want to hear it," said Roy Krieger, attorney for the 23-year officer of
Middle Eastern descent.  

Anya Guilsher, a CIA spokeswoman, said the agency could not comment on
the lawsuit. But she added, "The notion that CIA managers order officers
to falsify reports is flat wrong. Our mission is to call it like we see
it and report the facts."  

Critics of the Iraq war have asserted the administration pressured
analysts and operators to produce information that bolstered the case for
invading Iraq. Congressional investigations did not find such evidence,
but found the CIA did not have enough spies in Iraq and that the analysis
of the highly circumstantial evidence was mischaracterized as firmer than
it was.
