Examin[ed] the pre-war speeches and public statements of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other administration officials, the first two speeches presenting the case for war were not vetted by intelligence analysts, and generally concluded that administration officials overstated the case for war. Unexamined by the committee were the behind-the-scenes machinations of the White House Iraq Group, a collection of Bush loyalists and political experts tasked with presenting the case for war.
Apparently, because Chairman Jay Rockefeller saw the WHIG as merely a "public relations group", it consequently fell outside the scope of the Committee's jurisdiction.
Huh? I guess if I were an reporter, I would be curious as to which Senate committee would have jurisdiction over this crime?
