(( ANOTHER DAY ON THE DEFENSIVE FOR PRESIDENT BUSH WHO'S NOW POINTING THE FINGER AT THE C-I-A FOR MISINFORMATION ABOUT IRAQS BANNED WEAPONS PROGRAM. TERI OKITA REPORTS.
A WASHINGTON BLAME GAME IS BEING PLAYED OUT OVER FALSE INFORMATION THAT IRAQ TRIED TO BUY URANIUM FROM NIGER. ON A STOP IN AFRICA, PRESIDENT BUSH CLAIMED THE C-I-A SIGNED OFF ON HIM USING THAT INFORMATION IN HIS STATE-OF-THE-UNION ADDRESS.
Bush: I gave a speech to the nation that was cleared by the intelligence services, and it was a speech that detailed to the American people the dangers posed to the American people, the dangers posed by the Saddam Hussein regime.
THE WHITE HOUSE USED THE ACCUSATIONS AS A RALLYING POINT FOR WAR, BUT NOW ADMITS THE INFORMATION WAS WRONG BASED ON FAULTY BRITISH INTELLIGENCE. NEVERTHELESS, TOP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN ON PARADE IN RECENT DAYS DEFENDING THEMSELVES AGAINST CHARGES THEY MISLED THE PUBLIC.
BUT EARLIER THIS WEEK, A RETIRED U-S INTELLIGENCE INSIDER SAID THE C-I-A DID RAISE OBJECTIONS OVER WORDING IN THE SPEECH AND WARNED THE PRESIDENTS NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM THAT THE INFORMATION WASNT GOOD ENOUGH TO GO WITH. Greg Thielmann/Former U.S. Intelligence Official: I believe the Bush administration did not provide an accurate picture to the American people of the military threat posed by Iraq. Some of the fault lies with the performance of the intelligence community, but most of it lies with the way senior officials misused the information they were provided. NOW DEMOCRATS ARE CALLING FOR A FULL INVESTIGATION. Sen. Richard Durbin/D-Illinois:If the intelligence agencies come up with reliable information which is then distorted by political operatives in the White House and delivered to the American people, itll destroy the credibility of the White House and the presidency. Teri Okita/Reporting: Republicans claim its nothing more than a media-driven, diversionary tactic one thats keeps shadowing the President on the international stage.

63 year old Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf made a sudden appearance in Abu Dhabi saying he had mixed feelings about leaving Baghdad, sorrow and hope.
He said he realizes he may not come down this road again but he said he prays he can return one day.
Al Sahaf now grey-haried, earned the nickname Comical Ali for proclaiming defeat of U-S forces even as American troops advanced into Baghdad- and for his handling of loaded weaons during news conferences.
Al Sahaf was not on the U-S most wanted list.
