C.I.A. Director to Defend Assessments of Iraqi Weapons

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 — After months of silence, George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence, has decided to mount a strong public defense of the prewar judgments made by American intelligence agencies about Iraq and its illicit weapons stockpiles, intelligence officials said on Wednesday.

In a speech scheduled on short notice at Georgetown University on Thursday, Mr. Tenet will seek "to correct some of the misperceptions and downright inaccuracies concerning what the intelligence community reported and didn't report regarding Iraq," an intelligence official said.



is the agency tiring of being the whippin' boy? or are they gonna perpetuate the same kind of foolishness rummy was spewing forth today?

On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld offered his own defense of the Bush administration's prewar intelligence. Mr. Rumsfeld told Congress that he believed that the American-led team still searching for illicit weapons in Iraq might eventually find them despite comments last month by David A. Kay, the group's former leader, that no stockpiles of such arms existed in Iraq at the time of the American-led invasion last March.

....

Mr. Rumsfeld sought to play down Dr. Kay's view that "we were all wrong, probably" in believing that Iraq possessed large stockpiles of illicit weapons before the war. Mr. Rumsfeld said that was just a "hypothesis" to explain the difference between the prewar intelligence and what has been found on the ground.

....

"What we have learned thus far has not proven Saddam Hussein had what intelligence indicated and what we believed he had," Mr. Rumsfeld said in the same words to both panels, "but it also has not proven the opposite."


um, mr. rumsfeld, can you prove to me conclusively that there are no such things as leprechauns? or moons made of cheese?


c'mon, mr. tenet. shove back!


the replacements: "shootin' dirty pool"
"..do us all a favor. get yourself a spine!"
