Tenet regrets ‘slam dunk’ evidence advice to Bush

FORMER CIA director George Tenet yesterday said he regretted assuring President George Bush in 2002 that he had “slam dunk” evidence Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

“Those were the two dumbest words I ever said,” Mr Tenet told about 1,300 people at Kutztown University, in Pennsylvania.

The theory was a leading justification for the war in Iraq. Such weapons were never found.
