Probe into Pentagon's pro-war team begins

Washington -- The Defense Department's inspector general's office said
Friday it had begun investigating a Pentagon team that former
Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith used to build the U.S. case
against Saddam Hussein and plan the Iraq war.
Shelton Young, the Pentagon's acting deputy inspector general for
intelligence, told senior Pentagon officials Wednesday that his office
would investigate whether Feith's operation "conducted unauthorized,
unlawful or inappropriate intelligence activities."
As the Pentagon's third-ranking civilian official, Feith was one of the
administration's most influential advocates of toppling Iraq's
government. His advocacy of a hard line toward Hussein turned his office
into the nerve center for U.S. policy toward Iraq. Feith resigned earlier
this year.
Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, and Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, a senior Democrat on the
panel, requested the investigation. The Pentagon released Young's memo
describing the inquiry Friday evening.
The investigation is expected to focus on the work of analysts who spent
months before the U.S. invasion of Iraq sifting intelligence reports for
evidence that Hussein's government had ties to al Qaeda, a claim
administration officials used in making the case for war.
A Pentagon spokesman refused Friday to comment on the inspector general's
investigation.
Soon after the Sept. 11 attacks, Feith assigned two Pentagon staff
members, Michael Maloof and David Wurmser, to sift raw intelligence to
determine whether U.S. intelligence agencies had missed links between
rogue states and international terrorist networks.
The intelligence unit, called the Policy Counterterrorism Evaluation
Group, claimed to have discovered links that the CIA had overlooked and
briefed the National Security Council, the CIA and members of Vice
President ***** Cheney's staff.
