Some information said
'deliberately' misleading
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell says the CIA was wrong about the presence of mobile biological weapons labs in Iraq before the invasion by U.S.-led coalition forces last year.
In a February 2003 speech to the United Nations, Powell presented the claim as part of the evidence that Saddam Hussein was pursuing weapons of mass destruction.
Interviewed Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Powell said his presentation "was based on the best information that the Central Intelligence Agency made available to me. ... In the case of the mobile trucks and trains, there was multiple sourcing for that. Unfortunately, that multiple sourcing over time has turned out to be not accurate."
Powell continued: "At the time that I made the presentation, it reflected the collective judgment, the sound judgment of the intelligence community. But it turned out that
the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading."
Ojee, it's getting worse every day....
