Church Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Church Committee is the common term referring to the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee chaired by Senator Frank Church (D-ID) in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the committee investigated intelligence gathering for illegality by the CIA and FBI after certain activities had been revealed by the Watergate affair. In 1975 and 1976, the Church Committee published fourteen reports on the formation of U.S. intelligence agencies, their operations, and the alleged abuses of law and of power that they had committed, together with recommendations for reform, some of which were put in place. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Church_Committee   (791 words)

Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) was also critical of the Bush administration in his additional view, giving a list of public statements by senior members of the administration that misstated and exaggerated the underlying intelligence on Iraq. Senator Olympia Snow (R-ME) wrote in her additional view that the Committee's report revealed poor management and a lack of accountability in the intelligence community, and she called for strong reforms. On November 1, 2005, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), the Senate minority leader, invoked a seldom-used provision of the Senate rules to place the body in a closed session. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Senate_Report_of_Pre-war_Intelligence_on_Iraq   (4349 words)

washingtonpost.com: Senate Report Blasts Intelligence Agencies' Flaws In a hard-hitting report released today, the U.S. Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence said the CIA and other agencies used unfounded "group think" assumptions to assess the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before last year's U.S. invasion and reached conclusions that were often either "overstated" or "not supported by the underlying intelligence." In a joint news conference to present the report, the committee's Republican chairman and Democratic vice chairman agreed that the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies had suffered a massive intelligence failure in assessing chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs in Iraq before the March 2003 U.S. invasion. While the committee's nine Republicans and eight Democrats voted unanimously to release the report, they expressed some differences about whether the Bush administration exerted undue political pressure on the intelligence community to provide assessments that supported a decision to go to war in Iraq. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A38459-2004Jul9?language=printer   (1540 words)

americas.org - U.S. Lawmakers Rip Shooting The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on October 31 recommended against further CIA-run antidrug flights over Peru, effectively ending the program. The committee recommended removing the CIA as the program’s manager, automating a Peruvian flight plan system, broadening and systematizing training, and establishing annual U.S. certification of safety procedures. The joint CIA–Peruvian air force antidrug interdiction effort was suspended April 20 after a CIA radar plane helped Peruvian jet fighters shoot down a missionary plane, killing two of the U.S. citizens on board. www.americas.org /item_10247   (142 words)

Investigators Concluded Shelby Leaked Message (washingtonpost.com) The FBI probe included an interview with a staff member on the intelligence committee who said that Shelby was trying to leak the information to show the shortcomings of the intelligence community, the sources said. Last month it was revealed that the Justice Department had decided to forgo a criminal prosecution, at least for now, and turned the matter over to the Senate Ethics Committee. Intelligence officials, who consider intercepted communications among the most closely guarded secrets, said the breach proved that Congress could not be trusted with classified information. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A40886-2004Aug4.html   (838 words)

Ion Mihai Pacepa on Bolton and the U.N. on National Review Online According to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, all employees from Eastern Bloc nations were involved in espionage. The U.S. is the only force on earth that has the moral authority, the experience, and the capability to reform the U.N. It is high time for Washington to take the initiative again, as it did when World War II ended. And then there is Amre Moussa, the secretary general of the Arab League (and a former KGB puppet), who misses the balance of power provided by the Soviet Union and is still unable to condemn — to say nothing about prevent — terrorism. www.nationalreview.com /comment/pacepa200506160738.asp   (1488 words)

Intelligence Reports on Iraq and Saudi Arabia The 9/11 Commission, the U.S. Senate Assessment of Prewar Intelligence, and the British Butler Committee While expressing doubts about other details in his speech, the Senate intelligence report backed up Powell on the details of what he said on terrorism.

Reform of the United States Intelligence Community The national intelligence director, and particularly a reformed National Intelligence Council, has that responsibility and must be held to task for that responsibility, ensuring that diversity of views are encouraged and that the diverse views that occur are in fact brought to the attention of the Congress and of policymakers. Intelligence must serve the Nation and speak truth to power even if in some cases elected leaders chose, as is their right, to disagree with the intelligence with which they are presented. Intelligence was barely paid attention to for years, even during the cold war and the post-cold war period, except by those who needed to do it--certainly not the media or the public in general. www.fas.org /irp/congress/2004_hr/shrg108-835.html   (18968 words)
