Abstract

Bakos' team at the CIA helped to draft a part of Powell's presentation, and were shocked to see him make claims which were not justified by the available evidence, namely, that Saddam was harbouring Al Qaeda terrorists, including Zarqawi. In I The Targeter i , Nadia Bakos recounts her experience as a CIA analyst during an important period of history, the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, and the subsequent launch of the War on Terror, which included the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
