Speaking in Washington on Thursday, Mr Kay said the apparent contradiction "raised the possibility that the intelligence community had been telling the White House one thing and the White House had been hearing something else."
He said the issue of whether politicians manipulated data to make the case for war "is an important question that needs to be understood".
Carefully and neutrally phrased, but it's nice to hear.

You're spot-on about the 'careful wording', but it certainly begs the question about what would be happening had Kay not spoken out at all?
I just want somone in the government to really crack up at a press conference and let it all out - just say "OK, OK, we really didn't have a leg to stand on with this Iraq thing but fuck you lefties - we wanted to do some killin', OK?"
