>IRAQ INTELLIGENCE: NEW RESOURCE FOR ACTION!
>
>On February 6, President Bush appointed a nine-member commission to
>investigate pre-war intelligence on Iraq's illicit weapons programs. The
>President's decision to establish an investigative commission is an
>important first step.  However, many members of Congress and much of the
>public have expressed reservations about the commission as it has been
>established.  A congressionally mandated commission to investigate both
>the collection and use of intelligence by Administration officials, with
>an interim report due before the November elections, would have stronger
>bi-partisan legitimacy and independence and would provide voters with
>crucial information on their elected officials.
>
>FCNL has a new resource for constituents--an audio news release
>addressing the failed intelligence on Iraq's weapons programs.  As FCNL
>Senior Fellow Dan Smith explains in the news spot, "Congress should
>pursue a full investigation into the White House use of intelligence in
>attempting to justify this war and ongoing occupation which has so far
>cost $165 billion and many lives."
>
