JOHN BATISTE

He was an Iraq War veteran who retired to protest the competency of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld and the George W, Bush administration did not like the intelligence estimates of all the established intelligence agencies as it did not connect Sadaam Hussein with the Al Queada terrorists and thus justify an invasion of Iraq. So they set up a new intelligence unit in the DOD to “investigate” this issue.
