"President's role to be assessed later" Key points: 'The US launched a war on Iraq on the basis of false and overstated intelligence, according to a scathing US senate intelligence committee report released today. While the report is harshly critical of the CIA, it does not address the role played by the administration of the US president, George Bush. Following pressure from Republicans on the committee, the report is being published in two phases, with the White House being spared the committee's scrutiny until phase two begins. The second part of the report may not be published until after the presidential election takes place in November.' AND MORE: 'But Mr Rockefeller insisted: "The central issue of how intelligence on Iraq was, in this senator's opinion, exaggerated by the Bush administration officials, was relegated to that second phase, as yet unbegun, of the committee investigation, along with other issues." He insisted that, in the run-up to war, the Bush administration had repeatedly characterised the threat from Iraq "in more ominous and threatening terms than any intelligence would have allowed".'
