	Retired Official Defends the CIA's Performance (washingtonpost.com)
		Pavitt thinks invading Iraq "was the right thing to do" because, even though no weapons of mass destruction were found and no direct link to al Qaeda was established, Saddam Hussein had tried to assassinate former president George H.W. Bush.
		At the same time, Pavitt believes the postwar occupation has been marred by misguided initial decisions to exclude the State Department from managing relations with an emerging Iraqi leadership, as well as decisions to disband the army and disqualify all former Baath Party members from working in the new government.
		Pavitt's directorate of operations was responsible for knowing the plans and intentions of Osama bin Laden and other terrorists, for inserting CIA paramilitary units into Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and for sending secret teams into Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand and Somalia to snatch al Qaeda members with the help of local security forces.
