michael leiter, let me go to you. you've been an officer in both democratic and republic administrations. you have a lot of experience. you were the man of all seasons and for all seasons. and i just -- i'm having difficulty sorting this through. >> obviously, so are they. >> because, frankly, i was one of the people who -- not that we went along with it. we reported the wmd claims when he did not know were not accurate. it was based on, quote, intelligence. and we know the results of that. i'm a little gun-shy going into another potential military conflict based on claims of intelligence that have been chaotic and confusing. >> i think that's appropriate of you and i certainly think it's appropriate of the house and the senate who are also pushing the administration to be much more clear about this. i do have great empathy for the administration on one thing. we often saw what we considered imminent threats without knowing exactly where or when that would happen. that's a common occurrence in count counter terrorism
