Interview with Ray McGovern from Mother Jones
MJ.com: When did you and the other retired/resigned intelligence officers begin to think that the intelligence was being distorted or misused by the Bush administration?
RM: It was pretty clear early on, certainly in 2002.
We established our group, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, in January of last year. Before that several of us had been writing op-eds, and we had been giving each other sanity checks, because the conclusions we were coming up with were pretty far out -- that the President and the Secretary of State were lying through their teeth.
