Feith admits he lied about prewar intel?

Check out this response from Feith on the IG's report saying Feith and the OSP's actions were "inappropriate, but not illegal."

In a telephone interview yesterday, Feith emphasized the inspector general's conclusion that his actions, described in the report as "inappropriate," were not unlawful. "This was not 'alternative intelligence assessment,' " he said. "It was from the start a criticism of the consensus of the intelligence community, and in presenting it I was not endorsing its substance."

Read that last sentence carefully. Isn't Douglas Feith admitting he knowingly forced bad intel into the stream? What exactly does that phrase "not endorsing" mean?

Later: Reading this AFP version, it sounds like the legal/illegal split is based almost solely on whether their actions were "authorized."
