CORRECTION
 
In a recent article we reported a top CIA intelligence analyst had concluded that the security situation in Iraq was worse than it has ever been, the country was sliding towards civil war and the U.S. military intervention was a failure. In fact, the analyst was referring to Afghanistan. We regret any confusion caused by our error.
