The Bush administration's point man on nonproliferation has exaggerated the threat posed by Syria, Libya and Cuba in an effort to build the case that strong action is needed to prevent them from developing weapons of mass destruction, former intelligence officials and independent experts say.
“Very often, the points he makes have some truth to them, but he simply goes beyond where the facts tell intelligent people they should go,” said Carl W. Ford Jr., who retired in October as head of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research.
Bolton provokes such controversy that several of his critics — flouting Washington convention — agreed to be quoted by name.
