Iraq: How We Got In: How We Get Out
Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern comes to the Show-Me State!

Wednesday, October 4th at 7:30pm

Ray McGovern is a retired CIA analyst whose career spanned 27 years--from the administration of John F. Kennedy to that of George H. W. Bush.

In January 2003, after it had become clear that intelligence analysis was being corrupted by political pressure to "justify" an unprovoked attack on Iraq, a handful of intelligence community alumnae, including McGovern, created Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). VIPS now includes 55 former professionals from the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Army Intelligence, the FBI, the National Security Agency, and other US and Allied intelligence agencies.
