prewar intel withheld?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/15/AR2005121501813.html?nav=rss_politics

question from the neocon side was ....

"The report does not cite examples of intelligence Bush reviewed that differed from what Congress saw. If such information is available, the report's authors do not have access to it."


...so if this is true, then what are they citing in the report that contradicts anything if there's nothing in the report?

and welcome to DU, MrDale!

AND

Good list of doubts about Iraq intelligence that Bush kept hidden . . . .


"For future reference, here's a list of five key dissents about administration claims, all of which were circulated before the war but kept under wraps until after the war:


The Claim: Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, an al-Qaeda prisoner captured in 2001, was the source of intelligence that Saddam Hussein had trained al-Qaeda members to use biological and chemical weapons. This information was used extensively by Colin Powell in his February 2003 speech to the UN.

What We Know Now: Al-Libi's information was obtained under torture. Link. As early as February 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency circulated a report, labeled DITSUM No. 044-02, saying that it was "likely this individual is intentionally misleading the debriefers." Link. This assessment was hidden from the public until after the war."

thank you for info...time to start the battle. it amazes me still how the con-dums search their hardest to find something that will agree with their views instead of just dealing with the reality of things.

i can post links and copy and pastes all day long but they are so concerned with finding "a way out" which is the exact same thing this failure of an adminstration is doing. ignoring the reality and digging deep for "a way out".
