He nailed Rice:

the CIA director also made clear that it was members of the president's National Security Council staff who proposed including the questionable information in drafts of the Bush speech, although the CIA and the State Department had already begun questioning an alleged attempt by Iraq to buy uranium from Niger. It subsequently turned out that the allegation was in part based on forged documents.

Tenet noted that even before the White House proposed including the information in Bush's January speech, the agency had kept it out of other public speeches by government officials and congressional testimony because "we had questions about some of the reporting."
