The CIA’s former top official in Europe has revealed that President Bush ignored intelligence that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. The official, Tyler Drumheller, said former CIA Director George Tenet personally told Bush and Vice President Cheney that Iraq’s foreign minister had admitted to U.S. spies that Iraq had no WMD program. Drumheller said the information was ignored. He told 60 Minutes “The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy.”
