Former weapons inspector David Kay will testify before the Senate today, facing questions about his admission that most likely there were never WMD in Iraq before the Iraq invasion. Kay has spent the last three days pummeling the intelligence community, instead of the Bush Administration, saying the intelligence agencies "owe President Bush an apology." But Kay's comments and the White House's efforts to pass the buck face a challenge from President Bush himself, who "refused to blame faulty intelligence for overstating the threat." Instead, Bush "evaded questions" and joined Secretary of State Colin Powell and Vice President Cheney as the three top Administration officials to publicly back away from their previous WMD claims.
