Declassified DoD report sees problem resolved, makes no recommendations

The following is the declassified two page summary of the Office of Special Plans report, as acquired Friday morning by RAW STORY.

The Pentagon's Inspector General said he found it unnecessary to make any recommendations, saying changed relationships between the Defense Department and the Intelligence Community "significantly reduce the opportunity for the inappropriate conduct of intelligence activities outside of intelligence channels" in the future.

In a statement Thursday, Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) called the report a "devastating condemnation of the activities of the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy." In a separate statement, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, says whether intelligence activities "were authorized or not, it appears that they were not in compliance with the law."

The last sentence is, "As a result, we are not making any recommendations."

  It might also be appropriate to post your short diary as a comment on a gnostic's diary currently on the Recommended list to consolidate related materials and articles.

  Hopefully, a gnostic will see it and update his/her diary.

  Thanks for posting this.  Now we don't have to wait till AFTER the hearing to read it.

  Just out of curiosity, is there some reason you don't post it as a PDF on your site?

•  No worries

  So POTUS started a war based on bogus "intelligence products."  So he's ramping up to another war even as we speak.  No need to make recommendations.  No need to implement recommendations.  It's all good now. Everything is completely different.

  Wash, rinse, repeat.
