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," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the committee's top Democrat.
"For some reason they're delaying it. They don't want it out," he said Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition."
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. "They were supposed to have that back to us in two weeks, then three, and it's now four," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., the committee's chairman.
