House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) Friday invited former CIA Director George Tenet to testify before the panel on the pre-war claim that Iraq was seeking to acquire uranium from Niger. In a new book due out Monday, Tenet describes the internal White House deliberations leading up to the beginning of the war. The committee is holding a May 10 hearing on the issue. On Wednesday, it also voted along party lines to issue a subpoena for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to compel her to testify on the claim that there was a Niger-Iraq uranium connection. |
