The White House reversed itself and promised the Senate Intelligence Committee access to all materials requested for its inquiry into prewar intelligence on Iraq, the committee chairman said Sunday.
The committee is examining the accuracy of intelligence about deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's weapons programs and purported contacts with terrorist groups. That intelligence served as Bush's main arguments for the U.S.-led war.
A White House spokesman remained noncommittal, promising ?a spirit of cooperation? but no specifics. Spokesman Trent Duffy reiterated administration doubts about the committee's jurisdiction over the White House.
The CIA and the State Department already turned over large quantities of documents ahead of the committee's deadline last Friday and more material is coming, said Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.
