A report in The Hill newspaper says Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who chairs the committee, may want to divide the probe into two parts. The inquiry already has dragged on for more than two years, says the report.
Roberts apparently is considering separating the less controversial topics such as pre-war intelligence assessments of what the political and security environment would be in Iraq after a U.S. victory, from the more serious one on whether public statements and testimony about Iraq by senior U.S. government officials were substantiated by available intelligence information. |
