WASHINGTON, July 2 (UPI) -- Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte plans his own review of changes at the Army National Ground Intelligence Center, his deputy said.
"They are doing their own look, and we will do our own," Gen. Michael Hayden told The Washington Post.
The Army, in a written response to the Post, said that two analysts involved in a faulty 2002 analysis helped draw up changes in procedures and training at the NGIC. The analysts, both civilians, reported in September 2002 that aluminum tubes found in Iraq were unlikely to be used for rockets, supporting the CIA's belief that the tubes were destined for a nuclear buildup.
The NGIC, with a staff of about 900 military and civilian employees, is charged with analyzing the capability of foreign military forces.
Hayden said Wednesday that NGIC, the Defense Intelligence Agency Humint Service and the Center for Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation and Arms Control, all cited by a presidential commission for producing faulty intelligence before the invation of Iraq, will be held accountable.
