Democrats Focusing on Powell's Speech

Who Fed Him False Info?
The long-awaited testimony of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former CIA Director George Tenet on prewar intelligence on Iraq has been postponed while the members continue to interview key players in the events leading up to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's infamous 2003 speech at the United Nations.

Congressman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, sent letters to both Rice and Tenet yesterday to inform them of the delay, saying it was "to allow additional time for the Committee to conduct interviews and review documents relating to the White House's use of prewar intelligence."

The committee's letter stated the committee has been conducting interviews and depositions of "senior government officials with knowledge of prewar intelligence about Iraq's nuclear program," including John McLaughlin, former deputy director of the CIA, and Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell.

McLaughlin and Wilkerson were both in the room with then-CIA Director Tenet and then-Secretary of State Powell when drafting and rehearsing Powell's February 2003 speech, in which he claimed Iraq had ongoing nuclear and biological weapons programs.
