News: "Stephen Hadley, Mr Bush's deputy national security adviser, said on Tuesday that he had been told by the CIA of the agency's scepticism towards the reports last autumn, and had ordered them to be removed from the text of an important speech by the President in Cincinnati last October.'We had opportunities here to avoid this problem,' he said. 'We didn't take them.'
This version is very different from the claim by Mr Hadley's boss, Condoleezza Rice, that the CIA warnings never reached the higher echelons of the White House. "
