#3  That's true, but in many other areas they used official US estimates.

#2  Nice of the very liberal Brookings Institute to put this together. A very cursory glance is enough to see that they are taking values at the extreme range of available estimates.

One example - oil production under Saddam is estimated generally between 1.8m bbl/day and 2.5m. CIA put the number at around 2.1m. Brookings of course went with the highest available number, 2.5m, because it casts the US in the least favorable light.

#1  Didn't go through it with a fine tooth comb, but I see some good and bad trends alike. The graphical outputs make it all a lot easier to see. Thanks lotp that's a good one.
