The first meeting of President Bush’s National Security Council took place on January 30, 2001. When the subject of regime change in Iraq was discussed, George “Tenet, the CIA director, unrolled oversized surveillance photographs on the table showing antiaircraft batteries around Baghdad and what he called chemical weapons factories. Secretary of the Treasury Paul O’Neill studied the photographs but was unconvinced. ‘Factories all over the world look like this,’ he said. ‘Tell me how you can tell this is a factory that creates weapons of mass destruction?’ Tenet cited what he considered telltale signs, and few others in the room seemed to doubt they were what he said they were.”
