CIA Chief Claims Cheney Ignored Facts in Iraq

This story doesn't get much better for the White House. so when do we finally admit that they LIED to us about Iraq? From the article:

"But under sharp questioning by Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., Tenet reversed himself, saying there had been instances when he had warned administration officials that they were misstating the threat posed by Iraq. "

"I'm not going to sit here and tell you what my interaction was ... and what I did and didn't do, except that you have to have confidence to know that when I believed that somebody was misconstruing intelligence, I said something about it," Tenet said. "I don't stand up publicly and do it."

Tenet admitted to Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the committee's senior Democrat, that he had told Cheney that the vice president was wrong in saying that two truck trailers recovered in Iraq were "conclusive evidence" that Saddam had a biological weapons program.


One repeated claim by the GOP is that the Dems knew about the risk to the nation and voted for action. John Warner, R-Va claimed, "Members of this committee, members of the Senate, as well as past and present administrations reached the same conclusions: Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction."

The Problem with that is that they were being fed the filtered intelligence which only pointed towards WMD's in Iraq.
