JUST SO LONG AS WE'RE ALL CLEAR
By Cori Dauber

The New York Times, July 8, 2004, on the question of whether the Senate Intelligence Comm. report to be released today will say CIA intelligence analysts were pressured by the administration to shape their findings:

The unanimous report by the panel will say there is no evidence that intelligence officials were subjected to pressure to reach particular conclusions about Iraq. That issue had been an early focus of Democrats, but none of the more than 200 intelligence officials interviewed by the panel made such a claim, and the Democrats have recently focused criticism on the question of whether the intelligence was misused. (My emph.)

Senator Carl Levin, committe member, July 9, 2004, The Today Show, on the question of whether CIA intelligence analysts were pressured by the adiministration to shape their findings:

" . . . shaping intelligence to meet the needs of the administration. There can't be much doubt about that." [In response to the next question.] " . . . tremendous pressure . . . no analyst is going to admit that . . . tremendous pressure . . . Tenet said that . . . it was clearly there . . ."
