DETAILS OF PROBE INTO PREWAR INTEL STILL TO COME
Eagle news services

Did Sen. Pat Roberts ever present Phase II of the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation into the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war?

According to a story on Dec. 1, 2006, by Man Stearns of the Eagle Washington bureau, "The committee has released two of its five so-called 'Phase II' investigations that delve more deeply into issues regarding pre-war intelligence on Iraq. Still to come is the most potentially explosive: comparing the pre-war statements of government officials with the intelligence available at the time."
In a news release from the Senate Intelligence Committee on Jan. 4,2007, the incoming Democratic chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, noted that, "We begin this year with a full plate. We have unfinished business that requires immediate attention, specifically. . . the remaining sections of the committee's review of prewar intelligence on Iraq."

WARNING: I'm on dialup so it was a 3 hour + download.

A shorter html Conclusions: Senate Intel Committee (about 28 pages) from MSNBC is still available, and from what I could see gives most of what's useful in the report.

I'll note in passing that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has "redesigned" their website to suit the incoming committee, and most of the accessory documents cited in discussions from a year ago are no longer at the previous links, and cannot be found now, so far as I can tell, by searching the site.
