An open revolt is under way within the US intelligence establishment, with more than 50 veteran analysts charging their reports on ISIS were systematically changed to reflect the White House line.

Word broke two weeks ago that the Pentagon inspector general is investigating allegations of intelligence manipulation. But a new report Wednesday detailed the startling extent of the wholesale editing — all of it aimed at bolstering the Obama administration’s claims it’s winning the battle against extremism.

The blatant politicization was based in the US Central Command and reportedly involved outright changing of reports. A written complaint to the IG described the atmosphere as “Stalinist.”
Because it doesn't fit the narrative.........
