To fully declassify a march 13, 2003, cable from c. I. A. Field officers to headquarters. This cable provides information about the Bush Administrations campaign to build public support for the iraq invasion. One part of that campaign was the repeated misleading suggestions that mohamed atta, leader of the 9 11 hijackers, had met with an iraqi intelligence official in prague. I received a letter from director brennan making public for the first time some of the cables contents. He quotes the cable as saying, theres not one u. S. Government counterterrorism or f. B. I. Expert that has said they have evidence or know that atta was indeed in prague. In fact, the cable say, the analysis has been quite the opposite. Close quote. Now, my statement just entered in the record, i also discuss recent revelations by the former head of a Czech Counterintelligence Agency about u. S. Pressure to confirm the report of that meeting. The American People deserve to know the full truth about this episode
