Tenet testimony raises new furor
From CBS News: CIA Director George Tenet told members of Congress a White House official argued with the CIA and insisted that the Court-appointed Crackhead's State of the Union speech contain the now-discredited claim about Iraq trying to buy uranium in Africa.
White House spokesliar Scott McClellan said it's "not surprising" the charge came from a "member of a small minority in Congress" that "didn't support the "'president'''s action in Iraq."
"If the CIA had said take it out, we would have taken it out," said McClellan, possibly lying.
Durbin and other Democrats in the Senate had said earlier the question is not why Tenet failed to remove the Africa information from the speech, but who insisted on leaving it in. "All roads still lead back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Durbin said.
