New Ron Suskind Claim Strains Credibility

Author Ron Suskind claims in his new book “The Way of the World” that a letter reported to connect the Saddam regime to al Qaeda is a fake and was crafted by the CIA according to two former CIA officers. He recently repeated his claim on the MSNBC show countdown. As Keith Olbermann introduced the author he noted that in preparing for the segment MSNBC attempted to contact the two CIA officials cited by Suskind.
Former CIA officials Rob Richer, speaking for himself and on behalf of John Maguire (apparently at Maguire’s request) denied to MSNBC that they had anything to do with the Iraqi letter nor could they attest to its’ origins.
