| | t r u t h o u t - Self-criticism and Introspection in the American and British Secret Services |
 | | Western intelligence services- in the U.S., in the UK, but also in France, for other reasons touching on their exchanges with the first two- are carrying out an analysis, if not a self-criticism, on the question of their evaluation of the Iraqi arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. |
 | | More precisely, the intelligence services are trying to reevaluate the trustworthiness of their sources, by carrying out a complete review of their methods for collecting and analyzing intelligence. |
 | | The American and British services could have allowed themselves to be manipulated or duped, in part, by renegades and deserters, even Saddam Hussein double agents, well enough informed and competent to perform what experts call "active measures of deception". |
