C.I.A. Report Suggests Iraqis Are Losing Faith in U.S. Efforts
By DOUGLAS JEHL
Published: November 13, 2003
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 -- A bleak top-secret report by the Central Intelligence
Agency suggests that the situation in Iraq is approaching a crucial turning
point, with ordinary Iraqis losing faith in American-led occupation forces
and in the United States-appointed Iraqi Governing Council.
The report, sent to Washington on Monday by the C.I.A.'s Baghdad station
chief, suggests that the situation is creating a more fertile environment
for the anti- American insurgency. Officials said the report was adding to
the sense of urgency behind the administration's reappraisal of its policies
in Iraq.
The officials said that the report, dated Nov. 10, had been explicitly
endorsed by L. Paul Bremer III, the top American official in Iraq, and that
the warnings it spelled out had been a factor behind Mr. Bremer's abrupt
return to Washington for consultations this week.
The C.I.A. and the White House refused even to confirm the existence of the
report, which was first disclosed by The Philadelphia Inquirer. But
government officials outside those agencies said its conclusions were among
the darkest intelligence assessments distributed since the American-led
invasion of Iraq in March.
"It says that this is an insurgency, and that it is gaining strength because
Iraqis have no confidence that there is anyone on the horizon who is going
to stick around in Iraq as a real alternative to the former regime," one
American official said.
The latest C.I.A. report follows earlier intelligence assessments that
warned American commanders in Iraq of increasing resentment among ordinary
Iraqis. The picture those reports presented was very different from the
public view presented by administration officials. In particular, Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has repeatedly spoken of the opponents of the
American-led occupation as "dead- enders, foreign terrorists and criminal
gangs."
But the Nov. 10 situation report was described by the officials as
reflecting a more formal assessment. They said Mr. Bremer's unusual
endorsement was intended to give the document added credibility.
A second American official said the grim conclusions were based in part on a
classified opinion poll conducted by the State Department's intelligence
branch, which found that a majority of Iraqis now regard American troops as
occupiers rather than liberators. The concern has been reinforced, another
official said, by an increasing consensus among intelligence analysts that
appointed Iraqi leaders do not appear to be capable of carrying out the task
of governing or working toward elections.
"The trend lines are in the wrong direction," a third government official
said. "I haven't seen anything in any of the intelligence reports that
offers a hard and fast recipe for how to turn things around."
The officials would speak about the report only on condition of anonymity,
and all refused to quote directly from the document because of its
classified nature. They said they had been briefed about its findings, and
were discussing them publicly because they believed the warnings should have
wider circulation inside and outside government.
Among other concerns raised by the C.I.A. report, the officials said, was
the danger that Iraqi Shiite Muslims, who represent a majority of the
country's population, could soon join minority Sunni Muslims in carrying out
armed attacks against American forces. The report also described what it
portrayed as major obstacles to efforts by the United States and
American-led Iraqi forces to halt a small but steady infiltration of foreign
fighters from Syria and Iran.
