CIA Chief to Stand by Iraq WMD Report at Hearing by (posted by Guido) Tuesday June 24, 2003 at 07:40 PM |
"CIA Director George Tenet is expected to stand by a classified report
that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, amid questions about whether
prewar intelligence was exaggerated to make a stronger case for going to war,
U.S. sources said on Monday."
"Tenet was scheduled to testify on Thursday at a closed-door hearing before
the Senate Intelligence Committee, the latest in a round of congressional
hearings
that started last week on Iraq's biological, chemical and nuclear weapons programs.
Reuters Mon June 23, 2003
"The White House effort to put daylight between the president and Tenet's intelligence
estimates raised the possibility that the Bush administration was preparing to blame Tenet
for a growing credibility gap created by the lack of hard evidence to support Bush's
pre-war claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction."
"Sacking Tenet would risk the CIA chief telling "all he knows" about pre-Sept. 11 CIA warnings
on al-Qaida that went unheeded by the White House, McGovern added."
