White House Won't Release Intelligence Summary
by TChris
A one page summary of the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, which concluded that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons, apparently failed to note the dissenting views contained in the full report. Notes taken by Senate staffers who reviewed the report indicate that the summary presented only one point of view, but the White House refuses to release the summary.
According to Richard Durbin, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee:
"We have requested, through the Senate Intelligence Committee, that the White House produce this document and they have refused. I think that's wrong."
