The commission that President Bush will appoint to investigate the failures of prewar intelligence on Iraq will also review the CIA's misjudgments about weapons programs in Iran, Libya and North Korea, administration officials said yesterday.
...
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the commission will incorporate the findings of the Iraq Survey Group; the weapons-hunting team is not expected to finish its work for months. "The Iraq Survey Group is doing its work, separately and apart from this commission," he said. "But it's important that their work -- that the commission look at their work as part of this broad assessment of our intelligence capabilities."
...
Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Bush "is showing strong leadership once again by establishing a panel of experts to perform a 'no holds barred' review of America's intelligence community to make it stronger and more effective in a post-9/11 world."
Results to be published after the November elections, and all blame will of course, be placed (in a bi-partisan manner) where it belongs.
On the Clenis™.

After the election people will get to read:
The supplemental budget for Afghanistan and Iraq;
The report on 9/11;
The report on WMD intelligence.
This is, of course, so they don't become overwhelmed with information before voting.
OT: Heard on NPR: I voted for Bush in 2000 to protect my right to have guns. Well, I still have the guns, but I can't afford to shoot them.
