Sens. Want More Iraq Report Declassified

WASHINGTON -- Senators on an intelligence panel are seeking to declassify
more information from two Senate reports on prewar intelligence on Iraq,
saying too much was kept secret.

The bipartisan group on Tuesday asked a government commission to consider
whether portions of the reports could be made public without harming national
security.

It's the first time lawmakers have appealed to the Public Interest Declassification
Board since it was established in 2004 as a place for members of Congress to appeal
if they think federal agencies are unnecessarily classifying material in the name
of national security.

When the reports were issued, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said he was concerned
that some information was classified to shield officials from being held accountable,
not for national security reasons.
