CNN offers two different versions of this story, here and here.
From the first version:
"I think it's perfectly proper to reserve final judgment until we've been able to go through that process, run down those leads and see what actually took place," Rumsfeld said on CBS' "Face the Nation."From the second:
Secretary of State Colin Powell said Saddam never lost his intention to have weapons of mass destruction and he had the capability and infrastructure to build them.
A U.S.-led army invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003, after the Bush administration argued that Iraq was concealing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, a nuclear weapons program and long-range missiles in violation of numerous U.N. resolutions. Saddam's government collapsed April 9, when U.S. troops entered Baghdad. U.S. troops captured the fugitive leader in December near his hometown of Tikrit.
No stockpiles of banned weapons have been found, despite an intensive search -- and David Kay, the former head of the U.S. search effort, said in January that such stockpiles were unlikely to turn up.

Powell, who delivered the administration's case against Iraq to the United Nations in February 2003, said the United States had presented "the best information we had -- nothing that was cooked.
"It reflected the view of the intelligence community, the United Kingdom's intelligence community, intelligence communities of many other nations," he said. "And it was consistent with reporting from the United Nations over time. So we had solid basis for the information we presented to the president, the intelligence community presented to the president, and for the decisions that the president made."
