You have no proof of that whatsoever. CIA director Tenet stands behind the intelligence estimates, and the DIA report that caused such a furor merely says that they have a strong presumptive case, but cannot claim certainty about all their assertions. In the UK, their intelligence office stands behind the substance of their reports, but notes that some of the items were based on single sources, instead of being corroborated. Part of the controversy is how those single source assertions got to be there. In any case, once the Iraqis knew we had solid intelligence, after the Powell presentation, they had plenty of time to get rid of, by several methods, including merely moving things, a lot of the evidence. In a case like that, it is much to soon to tell what is going on...... |
