Blix doubts on Iraq intelligence
Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said Britain and
the US dramatised intelligence information to bolster the argument
for the Iraq war.
He told the BBC those who drafted the UK's Iraqi arms dossier acted
like salesmen trying to "exaggerate the importance" of their wares.
He told Breakfast with Frost he did not think Tony Blair acted in
"bad faith"..., writes BBC.

Kay queries White House war talk
The White House may have ignored some aspects of intelligence on
Iraq in the run-up to war, former chief US weapons inspector David
Kay has suggested.
He was reacting to a rare speech by CIA director George Tenet, who
said the agency had never asserted that Saddam Hussein was an
"imminent threat".
A new commission to study intelligence failures should ask whether
political leaders manipulated data, Mr Kay said, writes BBC.
