The Iraq war has contributed to an increased threat of terrorism, according to an intelligence assessment that has not lessened the Senate majority leader's defense of the U.S.-led invasion three years ago and occupation.
The classified assessment of the war's impact on terrorism came in a National Intelligence Estimate that represents a consensus view of the 16 disparate spy services inside government, an intelligence official said Sunday.

First, Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn. said he had not seen the classified report, which was completed in April. Now as majority leader, that sounds like a lie. Then later in the TV program he said, "I think — and the majority of the American people think — what it shows is that we've got to win," Frist said
