In his "memo" to Bush McGovern wrote:

On the same day you spoke in Cincinnati, a letter from the CIA to the Senate Intelligence Committee asserted that the probability is low that Iraq would initiate an attack with such weapons or give them to terrorists... UNLESS:

"Should Saddam conclude that a US-led attack could no longer be deterred, he probably would become much less constrained in adopting terrorist actions."

For now, continued the CIA letter, "Baghdad appears to be drawing a line short of conducting terrorist attacks with conventional or chemical/biological warfare against the United States." With his back against the wall, however, "Saddam might decide that the extreme step of assisting Islamist terrorists in conducting a weapons-of-mass-destruction attack against the United States would be his last chance to exact vengeance by taking a large number of victims with him."

This is a letter from the CIA to the Senate Intelligence Committee on the eve of a war. Don't you think it was classified? And yet McGovern is quoting it apparently verbatim.

If so, how did McGovern get his mitts on it? And shouldn't he and whoever leaked it to him be prosecuted?

Never mind for the moment that it shows McGovern believed Saddam had WMDs. It shows that his campaign to get intel officers to leak him secrets was at work even before the war.
