KUCINICH DEMANDS RELEASE OF INTELLIGENCE THAT LED TO WAR

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich, leader of the opposition to the Iraq war
in the U.S. House, is announcing at a noon news conference on Wednesday
that he will use a Resolution of Inquiry to demand the release of the
intelligence that led to the war in Iraq, and to Administration claims
that Iraq had tons of biological and chemical weapons, delivery systems,
and a 'reconstituted' nuclear program.

"This Administration led this nation into war based on lies," said
Kucinich. "I think that this Congress, and the American people, have a
right to know what information this Administration had, and how they
justify their public comments. Now is the time for truth-telling."

A Resolution of Inquiry is a rarely used House procedure that Kucinich
used successfully in March to get the Administration to release the
12,000 page weapons report that Iraq had submitted to the UN.

One interesting thing about this press release is the claim that the
Administration actually released the full 12,000 page weapons report.
I sure don't remember that hitting the press, nor any discussion of
what had been in the missing 9,000 pages that were kept from the
rest of the world. Does anyone know the truth here? Was the full
report "released"? I know that some media sources in Europe (Germany?)
did get hold of it and put out some stories on what was in the "missing"
pages, but I don't remember any such thing happening here, and
certainly not the "official release" of the full document.
