    My source also notes that Dick Cheney, who was behind the forgery, hated and mistrusted the Agency and would not have used it for such a sensitive assignment. Instead, he went to Doug Feith’s Office of Special Plans and asked them to do the job.

    Default CIA denies Suskind allegations ...

    as to the agency and its officers. The denial was based on an internal investigation (whether by the Inspector General or otherwise is not specified in the Post's article).

    CIA More Fully Denies Deception About Iraq

    The controversy over a best-selling author's account of forgery and deception in the White House deepened yesterday with a new CIA denial that it helped the Bush administration produce phony documents suggesting past links between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.

    More from Giraldi:
    Letters from Langley, by Phil Giraldi. The American Conservative blog, August 23rd, 2008.
    My sources are still insisting that the actual forgery took place in the Pentagon, more specifically in Doug Feith’s Office of Special Plans (OSP), in response to a request from Scooter Libby in the Vice President’s Office. John Conyers of the House Judiciary committee will attempt to get to the bottom of the matter in hearings next month, though it is to be presumed that there will be considerable stonewalling and industrial grade obfuscation. Feith is expected to be one of those subpoenaed to testify. Some committee members apparently wanted to broaden the inquiry to include the Niger yellowcake forgeries, also frequently linked to OSP, but there is reportedly little chance that the committee leadership will be willing to do so.
    Potential inquiry into the Niger yellowcake forgeries? Hmmm...
