Report on the U.S. Intelligence Community's Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq (Senate Report 108-301, 9 July 2004), U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, 9 Jul 2004.
Primary record
Later that day, the NSC staff prepared draft seven of the Cincinnati speech
Intelligence reports did indicate that Iraq may have had a mobile biological weapons program, but most of the reporting was from a single human intelligence (HUMINT) source to whom the Intelligence Community (IC) never had direct access.
When coordinating the State of the Union, no Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analysts or officials told the National Security Council (NSC) to remove the "16 words"
The Committee found no evidence that the IC's mischaracterization or exaggeration of the intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities was the result of political pressure.
