WASHINGTON -- Leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee are accusing the CIA of trying to delay release of the panel's report that criticizes the agency for overestimating the prewar threat posed by Iraq.

''I'm not sure whether it's because they don't want to be embarrassed," Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the committee's top Democrat, said yesterday on CNN's ''Late Edition" news program. ''For some reason, they're delaying it. They don't want it out."

The CIA was given most of the committee's report several weeks ago for declassification and fact-checking. The report examines intelligence failures on Iraq, including the flawed weapons estimates.
