More than 50 US military intelligence analysts have alleged their reports were "cooked", or manipulated, to make it look like the US is winning its war against the ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorist groups, in briefings to President Barack Obama.According to the Daily Beast, which broke the story, a complaint was initially submitted to the US Defense Department inspector general by two "senior analysts at CENTCOM" (US Central Command), and was then promptly backed by 50 other spies.
