CIA Director George J. Tenet and other senior administration officials continue to defend the Aug. 20, 1998, airstrike on the grounds that the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan's capital, had at least a tangential connection to chemical weapons activity. But administration officials concede they spoke in error immediately after the missile strike when they claimed that a nerve gas precursor had been manufactured at El Shifa and said that bin Laden had a direct financial stake in the plant. Since then, they have conceded that the plant was, in fact, manufacturing pharmaceuticals at the time it was destroyed. They have also said publicly that they do not consider Salah Idris a terrorist or believe that he has any links to bin Laden. library.cornell.edu Doesn't it bother you that our intelligence is so bad?
