(2004-07-09) Cia Slammed On Iraq Wmd

The Senate Intelligence Committee blamed the CIA for the War On Iraq WMD mis-estimate. The report zeroed in on the crucial October 2002 national intelligence estimate in which analysts concluded that Iraq already had chemical and biological weapons and was reconstituting its nuclear program... Mr. PatRoberts said the report was harshly critical of the C.I.A., asserting that it had "abused its unique position" by failing to share information with other agencies. Such sharing, Mr. Roberts seemed to suggest, might have subjected some overblown C.I.A. findings to a probing analysis.
