A bit ago I read an interesting piece by a former CIA analyst Ray McGovern that a big motivator for the EIT program wasn't necessarily to get true information, it was to get anything that would help justify the Iraq war.

This led to bad information (i.e. I'll tell you what you want to hear) that the Administration eagerly lapped up even though it was found to be false.
