"The SOTU is the most vetted speech a president gives. It’s not credible to believe Bush and all the bigwigs around him were duped.
Tenet won’t go quietly, and in classic Washington fashion, the story of what Bush knew and when he knew it will leak out a little at a time, with a drip-drip that damages American credibility abroad even if Bush escapes political damage here at home."

The White House ignored a request by the CIA to remove a statement in President Bush's State of the Union address that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa for its nuclear weapons program, CBS Evening News reported on Thursday.
White House officials argued that since a paper issued by the British government contained the assertion, if it was attributed to Britain it would be factually accurate, CBS said. CIA officials dropped their objections, CBS said.
