Senator: Open Hearings on WMD Possible

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee held out the possibility Sunday of open hearings in the panel's examination of the quality of prewar intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and how it was used by the Bush administration.

KEY QUOTE:

"According to a new CBS News Poll, six in 10 Americans say it is important for the United States to find the illegal weapons. Two-thirds of those polled said they think the administration exaggerated the weapons threat. That sentiment appeared not to have harmed Bush politically, with his job approval still at 66 percent."
