On the recordJune 23, 2004
I believe this bill has not gone far enough to strengthen intelligence and strengthen oversight. We, in this House and on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, have not shied away from standing strong and debating these issues head-on. I believe what the American people deserve is our best effort to support what we believe is right. A lot of good work has gone into the bill. As the ranking Democrat on the Subcommittee on Human Intelligence, Analysis, and Counterintelligence, I am glad to see funding and support for analysis. As we have reviewed the intelligence on Iraq's WMD, it has become clear to us that analysis did not have the ability to examine the reliability of sources. It now appears, for example, that all four sources that Secretary Powell relied upon to describe Iraq's mobile bioweapons facilities were not solid.
