did Congress have access to the same pre-war intelligence as the President?

CRS vs the Bush administration: who is telling the truth? Josh Marshall points us to what (I'm assuming) everyone basically already knew. That the administration priviledged itself to worse-than-worst-case estimates, then used only those estimates to frighten Congress into supporting their war.

"President Bush says Congress saw the same intelligence he did in the lead-up to the war in Iraq. So Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked the non-partisan Congressional Research Service to look into the matter and report back whether or not what the president said is true. They reported back today. The verdict: not true" Read it yourself.
