Senators Seek to Release More of Iraq Intel Report

A group of U.S. senators yesterday asked permission to declassify more of the Senate intelligence committee’s report on U.S. intelligence prior to the Iraq War (see GSN, Sept. 15).

The group, committee members from both parties, asked the Public Interest Declassification Board to consider whether more of the report could be released.

It was the first ever request of the board, which was created in 2004 to field congressional requests to release material classified by federal agencies (Washington Post, Sept. 20)
