What types of misinformation does the public receive from the CIA?

The CIA does not set out to directly misinform the public, but the CIA definitely keeps a lot of its information to itself and so the public is left in the dark. One example that we have seen recently of the public being grossly misinformed is the build up to the war in Iraq where the public was led to believe that the CIA had evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that Iraq was a threat to our country. Also, that it had evidence of the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda. All of these claims proved to be false. In fact, those of us working at the CIA knew that they were false, but really had our hands tied in terms of nobody knew that we're working at the CIA. And we were in no position to bring it to light that they were false claims.
