Five of the nine Democrats on the committee -- including Durbin and Graham -- ultimately voted against the Iraq war resolution. Eighteen months later, the Senate Intelligence Committee's 2004 report concluded that the white paper had "misrepresented" to the public the intelligence community's judgments. The report further concluded that the document had downplayed dissenting views and "provided readers with an incomplete picture of the nature and extent of the debate within the Intelligence Community regarding these issues."

so......"the white paper had "misrepresented" to the public the intelligence community's judgments."

again.........to the public.....

Not to the Senate Intelligence Committee, although they tried.... which is why a majority of the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee ended up either voting NO on the IWR, or at least voting for another provision.....except for John Edwards and Evan Bayh.
