Historian and investigative reporter Andy Worthington comments on testimony given to the Senate Armed Services Committee (read the report) by Maj. Burney, who wrote that
A large part of the time we were focused on trying to establish a link between al-Qaeda and Iraq and we were not successful in establishing a link between al-Qaeda and Iraq. The more frustrated people got in not being able to establish that link … there was more and more pressure to resort to measures that might produce more immediate results.
Torture to make a case for the Iraq invasion.
