Former Iraq Survey Group leader “David Kay, testified before Congress on August 18 [2004] about the Iraq WMD intelligence. There was plenty of blame to go around, he said, but his most pointed criticism was of the NSC [National Security Council] and by implication [National Security Advisor Condoleezza] Rice. ‘The dog that did not bark in the case of Iraq’s WMD program, quite frankly in my view, is the National Security Council,’ Kay testified. …’She [Rice] was probably the worst national security adviser in modern times since the office was created,’ he said.”
