Book: CIA Ignored Info Iraq Had No WMD

"New York Times reporter James Risen uses the anecdote to illustrate how the CIA ignored information that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction. His book, 'State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration' describes secret operations of the Bush administration's war on terrorism."

"The major revelation in the book has already been the subject of extensive reporting by Risen's newspaper: the National Security Agency's eavesdropping of Americans' conversations without obtaining warrants from a special court."

This is the only reason you know of the NSAs' spying; profit. This book is the reason the New York Times finally decided to reveal the information they'd kept secret for the government for over a year. I'd still like to know how long they would've held this story back, were it not a profiteering reporter. A real reporter would have published the information in this book, through the free media, and immediately. I mean, this information is important for us to know, about our government, isn't it?

We need real reporters like Jack Anderson. Where are they?
