"Sabri provided details of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction that turned out to be more accurate than CIA estimates."


"Sabri indicated that Saddam had no significant weapons program and that while the deposed Iraqi leader desperately wanted a nuclear bomb it would have taken more time for him to build one than the CIA's several-months-to-a-year estimate, NBC reported."

"Both the CIA and Sabri said Saddam had stockpiled chemical weapons, but both were wrong, NBC said."

"Sabri declined to be interviewed or to comment as did the CIA, NBC said, adding that the agency also would not say why it did not listen to Sabri's warnings."

Uh, the warnings about him stockpiling chemical weapons or the warnings that Saddam desperately wanted a nuclear bomb?

Pure CIA CYA.

Porter Goss probably wants to commit suicide working at that hack organization.

Thanks for saving me a cut-and-paste. My take is that the CIA is playing CYA, as always, with the help of the MSM. They were right -- sort of, by not listening to the "warnings" of whatever -- but Bush was totally, absolutely, incorrigibly wrong.

Saddam did, but he didn't. It's all in focus now. /sarc

EXACTLY! Fercryinoutloud! We bitch and moan because the LSM doesn't report the truth. Then they friggin put it in print that the CIA was warned by Saddam's henchmen that they were stockpiling chem weapons and trying to get nukes.....and WE hardly notice it!

Most people read the article, see its slant, and think it must be anti-Bush. The facts of the article are PRO-BUSH, but written in plain sight to hide them?
