One of the few supposedly new details about Iraq's suspected mass weapons programs that were made public by Washington and London before the war is now in question and under serious scrutiny. In making his case against Iraq during the 2003 State of the Union address, President Bush said "the British government has learned" that Iraq had approached an African nation seeking uranium. He did not mention, however, that U.S. agencies had questioned the validity of that intelligence. CIA director George Tenet had deleted a similar but more narrowly focused assertion from a Bush speech in Cincinnati three months earlier. And just days after the State of the Union address, Secretary of State Colin Powell chose not to repeat the president's allegation during his own speech to the U.N. Security Council. When documents supporting the charge that Iraq was trying to purchase uranium from the West African nation of Niger were given to U.N. inspectors in early 2003, they were deemed a forgery. Then, in July 2003, former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson said he was unable to verify the intelligence during a CIA-sponsored trip to Niger in February 2002. As the furor grew in Washington, CIA director George Tenet assumed responsibility for not having insisted the uranium statement be removed from the president's speech. Meanwhile, both the Bush administration and Tony Blair's government have said the president's statement was accurate and is supported by other British and U.S. information. <<< Click On the players at left to see what they are saying about the dispute.
