<--As I mentioned over at TPM, today Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) released a declassifed version (pdf) of the briefing slides Doug Feith's office used to sell the relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda to White House officials in 2002.
Feith, remember, ran the office of the undersecretary of defense for policy, an office tasked in the runup to the Iraq War with making the case that a relationship existed between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

It's a remarkable document in a number of ways. First, although Feith, unrepetant as always, has claimed that what his office was doing wasn't intelligence analysis, but "criticsm," the briefing is titled, "Assessing the Relationship between Iraq and al Qaida."
Second, the philosophy behind Feith's shop is on full display on a slide titled, "Fundamental Problems with How Intelligence Community is Assessing Information":
