Congressional Quarterly has an article Iraq Intelligence Horror Stories Shouldn’t Be Old News. Here's just one story:
Patrick Lang told a hilarious story the other night, for example, about a job interview he had with Douglas Feith, a key architect of the invasion of Iraq.
"‘He was sitting there munching a sandwich while he was talking to me,’ Lang recalled, ‘ which I thought was remarkable in itself, but he also had these briefing papers — they always had briefing papers, you know — about me.
‘He’s looking at this stuff, and he says, ‘I’ve heard of you. I heard of you.’
‘He says, ‘Is it really true that you really know the Arabs this well, and that you speak Arabic this well? Is that really true? Is that really true?’
‘And I said, ‘Yeah, that’s really true.’
‘That’s too bad,’ Feith said."
Too bad this was so serious.
