INTELLIGENCE INQUIRY

Cheney may face scrutiny on Iraq

Current and former officials want the Iraq inquiry to study the role of Vice President Cheney and Pentagon hawks.

WASHINGTON - What went wrong with intelligence on Iraq will never be known unless the inquiry proposed by President Bush examines secret intelligence efforts led by Vice President Dick Cheney and Pentagon hawks, current and former U.S officials said Monday.

The officials said they feared that Bush, gearing up his fight for reelection, would try to limit the inquiry's scope to the CIA and other agencies and ignore the key role the administration's own internal intelligence efforts played in making the case for war.

Meanwhile, the president said Monday he would name an independent bipartisan commission to review intelligence failures in Iraq. It would also look at what is known about efforts by Iran, North Korea and terrorist groups to obtain nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
