Faults found in Iraq report

WASHINGTON -- President Bush and his national security adviser did not
read the most authoritative pre-war assessment of U.S. intelligence on
Iraq, including a State Department claim that an allegation Bush would later use in
his State of the Union address was "highly dubious," White House officials said
Friday...

A senior administration official who briefed reporters Friday said neither Bush nor
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice read the NIE in its entirety...

the official said: "The President of the United States is not a fact-checker."


Truer words was never spoke.
