WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Representative and would-be Democratic presidential nominee Dennis Kucinich blasted a planned closed-door congressional briefing by CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet as keeping with the "false and misleading statements in the lead-up to war in Iraq (news - web sites)."



"The American public, the Congress of the United States and especially the families and loved ones of the over 200 brave service men and women who have died in Iraq deserve nothing less than full and public hearings on the false and misleading statements this Administration used to send our nation into war," the Ohio Democrat said in a statement.


"Closed door testimony today by the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (news - web sites) is simply unacceptable," he said, calling for "a real congressional inquiry."
