WMD Intel Panel Interviews David Kay

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON - In its first official meeting Wednesday, the president's commission investigating flawed intelligence on weapons of mass destruction heard from David Kay, the former Iraq (news - web sites) weapons inspector whose criticism helped drive the panel's creation.



Kay, along with about a dozen other experts, appeared before the commission in a closed seven-hour session to brief the nine commissioners as they begin sorting out the quality of U.S. intelligence on the threat of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.


President Bush (news - web sites) formed the commission — called the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction — in February after increasing criticism involving the prewar intelligence on Iraq's weapons programs. Their existence was a key argument for the war that removed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) from power.


Kay, the former head of the Iraq Survey Group that is searching for the banned weapons, reinvigorated the debate on the war's justification when he resigned in January and questioned whether weapons of mass destruction would ever be found.
