Note that it is also apparently sanctioned by the CIA, not the "retired" CIA..And apparently, at Rumsfeld's request... Which makes me feel that at least Rumsfeld may have had doubts....

Four retired CIA officials with access to the classified reports of 12 separate intelligence agencies are conducting the U.S. intelligence review.
A CIA spokesman said it would be months before the study is completed.
Rumsfeld, who suggested last fall that the looming Iraq war would provide a perfect case study to compare pre-war intelligence assessments with post-war evidence, requested the study. At the time, Rumsfeld had been frustrated over the conflicting intelligence reports he was getting on Iraq.
