I have some trouble considering this "propaganda": We were already engaged. The back-dating is key: the letter provided corroboration for statements (lies) made to us, the American people, BEFORE the war. The letter was not designed to make us feel better about being engaged, it was designed to defend prior lies that got us engaged. The core purpose was not morale but deception. The letter's source was an enemy leader, one that we had complete control over since several months before the war. This enemy leader specifically passed intelligence that WMDs did NOT exist BEFORE the war. However after the war began this leader was used to generate a back-dated letter refuting his early intelligence (intelligence which, by this point had been validated). In any case your argument is self-defeating: even if you consider this deception ultimately harmless "propaganda" the CIA is legally forbidden from conducting disinformation against the domestic population. Personally I consider this an outright lie: government fraud. They were not (as a propaganda argument would require) attempting to raise morale at home or lower it for the enemy - they were covering their pink, pimpled asses. But either way it's clearly illegal activity ordered by the White House.
