US report on Iraq war intelligence to sidestep Bush

NYTIMES NEWS SERVICE , WASHINGTON

The Senate report, the result of more than a year's work by the panel's staff, is the first of three to be issued this summer that are expected to be damning of the CIA and other intelligence agencies. The presidential commission on the Sept. 11 attacks is expected to release its final report this month, while Charles Duelfer, who is heading what has been an unsuccessful effort to find illicit weapons in Iraq, is expected to report next month or in September.

Roberts, the committee chairman, said last week that the 120 conclusions spelled out in the report "literally beg for changes within the intelligence community."
