	Bureau of Intelligence and Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) publishes an intelligence assessment, titled “Niger: Sale of Uranium to Iraq Is Unlikely,” that disputes recent Italian intelligence reports (see October 15, 2001) (see February 5, 2002) suggesting that Iraq attempted to purchase uranium from Niger.
		The Office of Africa Analysis in the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) argues in a memo that the alleged uranium deal between Iraq and Niger is “unlikely” for a number of reasons.
		A senior Central Intelligence Agency official will tell Knut Royce of Newsday that the CIA “had serious questions about [the claims] from day one.” The agency “had accounts [(see October 15, 2001) (see February 5, 2002) (see March 25, 2002)] of them [the letters] and that was close enough.

	The Mouse That Roared: State Department Intelligence in the Vietnam War
		The Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), as the cousins were known, amounted to a small-scale version of the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence.
		As the Office of Intelligence Research in the 1950s, the Bureau had an active part in the big intelligence disputes of the age, including the Bomber Gap and Missile Gap episodes, in which it took a less pessimistic view than the U.S. military or the CIA.
		Intelligence on peace feelers and negotiations was another subject, one where INR had special difficulties, not so much because of any lack of expertise, but due to the fact that it was deliberately cut out of the key events.

		In a classified June 2 memorandum, the officials said, the department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research said it was premature to conclude that the trailers were evidence of an Iraqi biological weapons program, as President Bush has done.
		Its principal purpose is to provide the Secretary of State and his top advisers with intelligence analysis independent of other agencies, but it also has a voice in the drafting of national intelligence estimates and other documents that are supposed to reflect the consensus of the intelligence community.
		An intelligence official sympathetic to the C.I.A. view said the State Department intelligence bureau's skepticism had been well known and that seeking its input on the report would have served no useful purpose.

	Report could hurt Bolton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The expansion of the bureau’s role, Democratic aides say, was intended to counteract skepticism expressed by State’s main intelligence analyst, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), over evidence the Bush administration relied on to argue that Saddam Hussein possessed a viable weapons-of-mass-destruction program.
		The controversial augmentation of the intelligence role played by the Bureau of Verification and Compliance within the State Department is intriguing in the wake of revelations that State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research had challenged the view of other intelligence agencies that Iraq was reassembling its nuclear-weapons program.
		In a report that was harshly critical of the intelligence community, the Senate Intelligence Committee praised the Bureau of Intelligence and Research for dissenting with the prevailing conventional wisdom on Iraq’s weapons capabilities in the 2002 national intelligence estimate.

		That is the bureau within the Department of State responsible for analyzing intelligence information we collect and analyzing that information, and he suggests that the Bureau of Intelligence and Research and that that information, that some of the information collected, that our post-war challenges in Iraq are more daunting than President Bush's sunny rhetoric suggests.
		However, by Newt Gingrich's logic, the fact that the Bureau of Intelligence and Research reached a contrary finding that conflicted with the President's statement in the State of the Union address would be evidence that the State Department seeks to undermine Bush foreign policy.
		The fact that certain intelligence assessments from INR, or any other government agency for that matter, may be out of sync with the President's policy does not mean, does not mean that those intelligence analysts are engaged in some kind of deliberate and systematic effort to undermine our foreign policy.

	Intelligence agency earns respect with dissent \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		WASHINGTON – On Iraq and illicit weapons, the intelligence agency that got it least wrong, it turns out, was one of the smallest – a State Department bureau with no spies, no satellites and a reputation for contrariness.
		Its analysts tend to be older – most are in their 40s or 50s – more experienced and more likely to come from academic backgrounds than those at other agencies, and they are more often encouraged to devote their careers to the study of a particular issue or region.
		Not even admirers of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research say that it alone represents the answer to the kinds of shortcomings discussed in the Senate report.

		Instead of our leadership forming conclusions based on a careful reading of the intelligence we provided them, they already had their conclusion to start out with, and they were cherry-picking the information that we provided to use whatever pieces of it that fit their overall interpretation.
		It was a different effort, a separate effort to reexamine previously collected intelligence to see whether we had explored sufficiently the involvement of Iraqi intelligence with terrorist organizations, because there had been a theory that dominated the collection and analysis of intelligence prior to Sept. 11.
		The intelligence that the British had, they had not shared with us, as they have said, because of third party agreements that prohibited their sharing that intelligence with us.

	Murray Waas \| What Bush Was Told About Iraq
		Among other things, the report stated that the Energy Department and the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research believed that the tubes were "intended for conventional weapons," a view disagreeing with that of other intelligence agencies, including the CIA, which believed that the tubes were intended for a nuclear bomb.
		The single dissent in the report again came from State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, known as INR, which believed that the Iraqi leader was "unlikely to conduct clandestine attacks against the U.S. homeland even if [his] regime's demise is imminent" as the result of a U.S. invasion.
		The conclusion among intelligence agencies that Saddam was unlikely to consider attacking the United States unless attacked first was also outlined in Senior Executive Intelligence Briefs, highly classified daily intelligence papers distributed to several hundred executive branch officials and to the congressional intelligence oversight committees.
