... in private conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last week, the president all but disowned the document, said a senior administration official who accompanied Bush on his six-nation trip to the Mideast. "He told the Israelis that he can't control what the intelligence community says, but that [the NIE's] conclusions don't reflect his own views" about Iran's nuclear-weapons program, said the official, who would discuss intelligence matters only on the condition of anonymity.

As with the much-ballyhooed Iraq Study Group Report, W has determined that the Iran NIE is a quaint, historical document. He knows better - Iran is bad! Don't confuse him with the facts.
