Public war inquiry blocked

GOP calls open scrutiny of pre-war intelligence 'premature'

By STEWART M. POWELL AND JUDY HOLLAND

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON -- "...Republican congressional leaders bought more time yesterday for President Bush to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq by blocking a public investigation into pre-war U.S. intelligence and allegations that the White House exaggerated the threat.

Rejecting a formal public inquiry that many Democrats sought were Sen. Pat Roberts?, R-Kan., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. John Warner, R-Va., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla...

Instead, the Republican leaders said, members of their committees would conduct a closed-door, document-by-document review of pre-war U.S. intelligence reports. That approach would delay any potentially embarrassing public hearings and give the Bush administration additional weeks, if not months, to find alleged Iraqi weapons.

After U.S. combat forces failed to find evidence of the weapons since conquering Iraq eight weeks ago, the Pentagon dispatched a special 1,400-member task force to search for suspected Iraqi chemical, biological or nuclear weapons materials that Bush cited before ordering the U.S. invasion March 19.

The outcome of any congressional investigation into U.S. intelligence on Iraq could become an issue in next year's presidential election if Democratic rivals challenge Bush on his rationale for the pre-emptive attack. More than 200 GIs have died in combat and accidents since military operations began in March..."
