Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) is a group of current and former intelligence officers, including some from the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who opposed the use of what they consider flawed intelligence to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The group was formed in January 2003 "to speak out on the use of intelligence to justify the war," as "a coast-to-coast enterprise". It consists of a few intelligence officers of the CIA, as well as the U.S. State Department's Intelligence Bureau and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). [1][2][3]
