I appreciate the reply.
But I disagree on two points.
IMO, Scott's manuscript The Dallas Conspiracy is so outdated its obsolete. Further, his analysis of the Power Elite has been supeseded by Don Gibson's superb Battling Wall Street.
In fact, when Gibson's book came out, it really made me wonder how some writers, including Peter, could still cling to a Mafia/Texas millionaire power structure.
Secondly, I did a lot of work on the run up to the Iraq War since I did a long two part article on it for Mike Ruppert's web site, when it was active.
Its not accurate to say that the analysts in the intel community gave Cheney and Bush what they wanted. In fact, they were so reluctant that the White House created a whole new intel division run by a stooge for Cheney named Doug Feith. WHat Feith did was to take the raw intel reports and essentially cherry pick them. He then took this cherry picked info, and "stove piped" it over to Rumsfeld, CHeney and Rice, bypassing normal channels.
THe apparatus set up out of the WH for this operation was really stupendous. And it has never been fully documented or revealed in one place. In fact, even though I had a lot of space to deal with it, I could not do it justice. A lot of this apparatus and how it operated has to do with just how extreme the nutty neo cons were. They were so bad that they were too much for a large part of the CIA and the Eastern Establishment.
