State of war : the secret history of the CIA and the Bush administration / James Risen - New York : Simon & Schuster, 2006 - 240 p.

Journalistic account of the strained relationship between America's political leadership and its intelligence apparatus. Presents various examples of dubious actions, information cutoffs, and lack of oversight. Among the "achievements" was the complete lack of evidence of WMD in Iraq, and a high-risk operation called MERLIN designed to supply deliberately flawed nuclear weapons technology to Iran.
