Ex-CIA Officer Says The Agency Delivered The Same Iran Verdict Three Times Before The War Former CIA officer John Kiriakou says the agency produced three separate national intelligence estimates before the Iran war began, and each one found that Tehran had no nuclear weapons program.
He made the claim on the Nov. 6 "Intelligence Community Roundtable" edition of Judge Andrew Napolitano's Judging Freedom, alongside Larry Johnson. Napolitano asked what the CIA had told the president "about the practical consequences of his plan with Netanyahu to win the war in six days." Kiriakou answered that " we know a little bit from leaks ," then said: "the CIA had published three separate national intelligence estimates and all three times concluded that the Iranians did not have a nuclear weapons program.
It just simply didn't exist."
