If New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller needs a stronger news hook to justify the reinvestigation of Judith Miller's prewar WMD reporting than Colin Powell's Sunday interview on Meet the Press, during which the secretary of state allowed that he and the CIA were deliberately mislead by an Iraqi defector, I recommend that he read today's (May 18) piece by Knight Ridder Washington Bureau reporter Jonathan S. Landay, "White House released claims of defector deemed unreliable by CIA."

According to unnamed U.S. officials, the Bush administration publicized the claims of Iraqi defector Adnan Ihsan Saeed al Haideri to win support of the Iraq war—even though the CIA and DIA had declared Saeed an unreliable source nine months earlier.
