“At the October 15 [2002] Principals Committee meeting, [CIA Director] George Tenet reiterated that the CIA did not have ‘a smoking gun today [in Iraq]–a site that we know will produce a smoking gun.’ Though CIA officials lacked specific data on where Saddam’s chemical or biological weapons were located, they said they were certain, from multiple sources of information, that Saddam possessed such weapons.”
