The lost testimony of George Tenet before congress in February 2001, which was never before released, has now been found and released to the public. Tenet explicitly states that Iraq posed no threat to the US or Iraq's neighbors. From the article:
This is pretty damning evidence, and backs up what the Downing Street Memos say - That the intel was actually being "fixed" around the desire to go to war.

Tenet told Congress in February 2001 that Iraq was “probably” pursuing chemical and biological weapons programs but that the CIA had no direct evidence that Iraq had actually obtained such weapons. However, such caveats as “may” and “probably” were removed from intelligence reports by key members of the Bush administration immediately after 9/11 when discussing Iraq.
