The result was that Bolton understandably felt he could not trust the analyst, a sentiment he conveyed to Westermann's ultimate boss, Assistant Secretary of State CarlFord .
The Foreign Relations Committee has established, however, that this claim was untrue, a fact documented by a coordination sheet properly signed off on by every relevant agency and by Carl Ford's testimony.
Some of those responsible for such behavior - like Armitage cronies CarlFord and Tom Fingar - subsequently sought publicly to sabotage the Bolton nomination, engendering a Senate filibuster that was only ended when Mr. Bush gave his choice for the UN a recess appointment.
