CIA Official Reveals Bush, Cheney, Rice Were Personally Told Iraq Had No
WMD in Fall 2002
Tonight on 60 Minutes, Tyler Drumheller, the former chief of the CIA’s
Europe division, revealed that in the fall of 2002, President Bush, Vice
President Cheney, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and
others were told by CIA Director George Tenet that Iraq’s foreign
minister — who agreed to act as a spy for the United States — had
reported that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction program.
Watch it:
BRADLEY: According to Drumheller, CIA Director George Tenet delivered
the news about the Iraqi foreign minister at a high level meeting at the
White House.
DRUMHELLER: The President, the Vice President, Dr. Rice…
BRADLEY: And at that meeting…?
DRUMHELLER: They were enthusiastic because they said they were
excited that we had a high-level penetration of Iraqis.
BRADLEY: And what did this high level source tell you?
DRUMHELLER: He told us that they had no active weapons of mass
destruction program.
BRADLEY: So, in the fall of 2002, before going to war, we had it
on good authority from a source within Saddam’s inner circle
that he didn’t have an active program for weapons of mass
destruction?
DRUMHELLER: Yes.
BRADLEY: There’s no doubt in your mind about that?
DRUMHELLER: No doubt in my mind at all.
BRADLEY: It directly contradicts, though, what the President and
his staff were telling us.
DRUMHELLER: The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming, and
they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to
justify the policy.
