Listen Wednesday, Sep. 27, 2006 at 12:06 p.m. in Conflict, Politics

Is America's War in Iraq fueling terrorism worldwide? The classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) says yes according to portions leaked to journalists. To stem speculation and bolster claims that the War has made America safer, President Bush ordered portions of the Report declassified. Kojo finds out what we may see, how classified documents are produced, and why their contents sometimes comes to light in unexpected ways.
