Bush Names Commission On Iraq Data
President Concedes Analysis May Have Been Flawed
By Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, February 7, 2004; Page A01
President Bush acknowledged for the first time yesterday that some prewar assessments of Iraq's weapons stockpiles may have been wrong, and he named a seven-member commission to investigate the nation's intelligence operations.
Bush had resisted such a commission until pressure intensified from members of both parties. He called for a report and recommendations by March 31, 2005, which is four months after he faces voters in the general election and two months after he leaves office if not reelected.
The chairmen will be former U.S. senator and Virginia governor Charles S. Robb, a Democrat who served on the Senate intelligence committee until his defeat in 2000, and Laurence H. Silberman, a federal appeals court judge and Republican who was deputy attorney general under presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald Ford.
The most sensitive part of the commission's charge is to study the information about Iraq that was available to the White House before the war, in an effort to determine whether an intelligence failure contributed to Bush's as-yet-unproved assertions that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Bush, looking grim in a hastily scheduled afternoon appearance in the White House briefing room with Robb and Silberman, cited a statement by former U.S. weapons hunter David Kay in pointing out that "some prewar intelligence assessments by America and other nations about Iraq's weapons stockpiles have not been confirmed."
"We are determined to figure out why," Bush said. "We're also determined to make sure that American intelligence is as accurate as possible for every challenge in the future."
Robb, son-in-law of former president Lyndon B. Johnson, and Silberman will be joined by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.); Lloyd N. Cutler, White House counsel to Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton; Yale University President Richard C. Levin; Patricia M. Wald, former chief judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; and retired Adm. William O. Studeman, former deputy director of the CIA and director of the National Security Agency.
Aside from Studeman, none of the commission members has significant intelligence experience, intelligence experts said. Studeman is a member of the Defense Science Board, which has been looking at ways to increase the Pentagon's role in intelligence gathering and operations.
Loch K. Johnson, a political science professor at the University of Georgia and an authority on the CIA, said he is disappointed the panel members "have not been deeply involved in contemporary intelligence issues."
"Where are the people who know about intelligence but have no axes to grind or institutional biases to reflect?" he said. "I don't see those people there."
Bush said the commission will look into the weapons programs of North Korea and Iran, two other secretive countries that have expressed nuclear ambitions. He said the panel will also examine intelligence on past threats posed by Libya and Afghanistan.
Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi agreed in December to surrender his weapons of mass destruction, and investigators have since discovered he had an extensive nuclear program that went largely undetected by Western intelligence agencies.
"The commission I have appointed today will examine intelligence on weapons of mass destruction and related 21st-century threats and issue specific recommendations to ensure our capabilities are strong," the president said.
Democrats attacked Bush's decision to appoint all the members, instead of allowing Congress to name some of them as Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) and others have urged in recent days.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said Bush's handpicked appointments "to investigate his own administration . . . creates the appearance of a cozy inside job." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called it "a commission wholly owned by the executive branch investigating the executive branch."
Bush pushed the due date for the commission's report until more than 13 months from now because, aides said, he did not want the probe to become embroiled in election-year politics. British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced a similar commission this week and called for its report by July.
Concerns over intelligence gathering have become a central theme of the presidential campaign, with Democratic contenders challenging Bush's conclusions about Iraq's weapons capabilities.
The formation of the commission came a day after CIA Director George J. Tenet gave a speech at Georgetown University in which he defended U.S intelligence gathering and said that although CIA analysts made mistakes about Iraq, they never said the nation posed an "imminent threat."
A Republican official involved in the commission's selection process said yesterday's announcement was part of a White House "strategy to seize the initiative on this issue -- part defense, but partly trying to get to higher ground again" since Kay's statements last month after he resigned as head of the CIA-led Iraq Survey Group.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan declined to answer a question yesterday about accountability for prewar intelligence, saying he did not want to "prejudge" the commission and the continued work of the Iraq Survey Group. "The president, obviously, will look forward to the work of the independent commission," McClellan said.
Republican sources said Vice President Cheney, whose allegations about Hussein helped build support for the war with the public and on Capitol Hill, vetted possible panel members. "He was very involved," a friend said. Cheney talked privately with McCain about serving even before the White House acknowledged it was considering a panel, the sources said.
The selection process appeared troubled, especially for a White House that prides itself on efficiency. The commission was to have nine members and was to be named earlier this week. Bush named seven and said he would fill two other slots later.
Robb did not have his first conversation with the White House until 8:30 a.m. yesterday, Democratic sources said. The sources said Thomas S. Foley (D-Wash.), a former speaker of the House, turned down an invitation to serve on the panel. A call to Foley was not returned.
Bush signed an executive order creating the panel, formally known as the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The order said the panel will "examine the Intelligence Community's intelligence prior to the initiation of Operation Iraqi Freedom and compare it with the findings of the Iraq Survey Group and other relevant agencies or organizations concerning the capabilities, intentions, and activities of Iraq relating to the design, development, manufacture, acquisition, possession, proliferation, transfer, testing, potential or threatened use, or use of Weapons of Mass Destruction and related means of delivery."
The order said the commission will have an executive director and other staff.

Tom Daschle and Bill Frist should fill the other slots imo. |

I think that guy needs to make a few more changes judging from his "evidence" for wmds in Iraq...
The fact of the matter remains that the Bush administration screwed up big time both domestically and on the international front. It will be a shot to the foot of common sense if he gets re-elected. |
