"Top White House anti-terror boss resigns"
http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030319-040543-3049r
WASHINGTON, March 19 (UPI) -- The top National Security Council official in
the war on terror resigned this week for what a NSC spokesman said were
personal reasons, but intelligence sources say the move reflects concern
that the looming war with Iraq is hurting the fight against terrorism.
...
"This is a very intriguing decision (by Beers)," said author and
intelligence expert James Bamford. "There is a predominant belief in the
intelligence community that an invasion of Iraq will cause more terrorism
than it will prevent. There is also a tremendous amount of embarrassment by
intelligence professionals that there have been so many lies out of the
administration -- by the president, (Vice President Dick) Cheney and
(Secretary of State Colin) Powell -- over Iraq."
...
"If it was your job to prevent terror attacks, would you be happy about an
action that many see as unnecessary, that is almost guaranteed to cause more
terror in the short-term?" said one official. "I know I'm not (happy)."
