The New York Times is reporting a new Senate report on Iraq will be highly critical of the CIA’s prewar intelligence but will sidestep the question of how the Bush administration used the information to make the case for war. Democrats and Republicans reached a deal that it would likely wait until after the November elections to address the Bush’s administrations role. The Times reports this may help President Bush and his allies to blame the CIA for mistakes made. The Senate report will be released Friday morning, less than 24 hours after CIA holds a farewell tribute to George Tenet who is resigning. Tenet’s top deputy John McLaughlin will officially take over the agency on an interim basis beginning Sunday.
