FOXNews.com - Administration Immersed in Questions on Iraq Intel

As Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld testified Wednesday on the quality of intelligence before the war in Iraq, Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet prepared to deliver a speech Thursday on the complexities inherent in the intelligence business.
An intelligence official said that in a speech at Georgetown University, Tenet will "correct the misperceptions and inaccuracies about what the intelligence community reported on Iraq."
At his speech on Thursday, Tenet will talk generally about the difficulties and complexities inherent in the intelligence business and about broader intelligence questions in addition to Iraq. Asked if the Tenet speech would be a "rebuttal" of Kay's comments, an official said no.
