This information may have been posted before, and if it has I'll bet it's been awhile. This will serve as a good reminder (and rebuttals as necessary) going forward into Phase II of the investigation.
From the SSCI Phase I report, Chapter 10: White Paper Conclusions:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/library/congress/2004_rpt/iraq-wmd-intell_chapter10-c.htm(U) Conclusion 85. The Intelligence Community's elimination of the caveats from the unclassified White Paper misrepresented their judgments to the public which did not have access to the classified National Intelligence Estimate containing the more carefully worded assessments.
PARAGRAPH DELETED
Conclusion 86. The names of agencies which had dissenting opinions in the classified National Intelligence Estimate were not included in the unclassified white paper and in the case of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the dissenting opinion was excluded completely. In both cases in which there were dissenting opinions, the dissenting agencies were widely regarded as the primary subject matter experts on the issues in question. Excluding the names of the agencies provided readers with an incomplete picture of the nature and extent of the debate within the Intelligence Community regarding these issues.

(U) Conclusion 87. The key judgment in the unclassified October 2002 White Paper on Iraq's potential to deliver biological agents conveyed a level of threat to the United States homeland inconsistent with the classified National Intelligence Estimate.

Your guess is as good as mine as to what has been redacted from the public version of the report.

BTW - Today is the day that the "Gang of 6" will be reporting on the
status of the Phase II investigation, so you might want to tune into CSpan every now and then to hear if anything is announced, or keep your eye peeled for news.
