Bush Keeping Second Iraq Report Secret, Says Harman

Posted on Sep 27, 2006

Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) is alleging there is another intelligence estimate floating around—one that deals exclusively with Iraq—but which has been stamped “Draft” by the Bush administration to keep it from becoming public.

TPM Muckraker:

There’s a second damning Iraq report floating around the intelligence community.

At least, that’s according to Rep. Jane Harman (CA), the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee. At an event this morning, Harman disclosed the existence of a classified intelligence community report that gives a grim assessment of the situation in Iraq, and called for it to be shared with the American public—before the November elections.

The report has not been shared with Congress, although sources say a draft version may have circulated earlier this summer. It is a separate report from the one revealed by major news outlets Sunday, which is said to conclude that the war in Iraq has made the U.S. less secure from terrorist threats.
