Mr. Kennedy accused the president of resorting to "pure, unadulterated
fear-mongering, based on a devious strategy to convince the American
people that Saddam's ability to provide nuclear weapons to Al Qaeda
justified immediate war."

He also accused the Bush administration of going well beyond the
assessments provided by intelligence agencies in its prewar depictions
of Iraq, its alleged illicit arsenal and its ties to terrorism.

The senator singled out George J. Tenet, the director of central
intelligence, who said last month that his agency had never portrayed
Iraq has having presented an imminent threat to the United States, as
having failed in his obligation to correct statements by Mr. Bush that
described the Iraqi threat as "unique and urgent" and "grave."
