CIA Director George Tenet is scheduled to deliver an unusual public defense of the agency in a speech today at Georgetown University. Former US weapons inspector David Kay and others have criticized the CIA for miscalculating Iraq’s weapons threat. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee it is too early to determine whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Rumseld said “It took us 10 months to find Saddam Hussein. The reality is that the hole he was found in was large enough to hold enough biological weapons to kill thousands of human beings. . . . And unlike Saddam Hussein, such objects can stay buried.”
