A U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report concluded Friday that key assertions by the Bush administration used to justify the Iraqi invasion of Iraq had been wrong. Republican chairman of the committee, Senator Pat Roberts, said in launching the 400-page report, that the information which sent the nation to war was flawed. The report accuses intelligence analysts of falling victim to "group thinking" assumptions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and condemns former CIA chief George Tenet for exaggerating evidence. The committee found no evidence of active co-operation between the al-Qaeda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein, a claim also used to justify the war. President Bush had insisted that Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons and was trying to start up a nuclear weapons program. In related news, CNN reported the number of soldiers killed among U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq stood at 1002 as of Thursday. It said the figure includes deaths in "non-aggressive" surroundings and those related to combat missions. Of the 1002, American soldiers are tallied at 881.
