A spokeswoman for John Negroponte, director of national intelligence, said information
contained in the transcriptions of the tapes was already known to intelligence officials.
"Intelligence community analysts from the CIA, and the DIA reviewed the translations and
found that, while fascinating, from a historical perspective the tapes do not reveal
anything that changes their post-war analysis of Iraq's weapons programs nor do they change
the findings contained in the comprehensive Iraq Survey group report," she said in a
statement.
"The tapes mostly date from early to mid-1990s and cover such topics as relations with the
United Nations, efforts to rebuild industries from Gulf war damage and the pre 9/11
situation in Afghanistan."
Charles Duelfer, who led the official U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction after the
war, says the tapes show extensive deception but don't prove that weapons were still hidden
in Iraq at the time of the U.S.-led war in 2003. "What they do is support the conclusion in
the report, which we made in the last couple of years, that the regime had the intention of
building and rebuilding weapons of mass destruction, when circumstances permitted."
