WASHINGTON (AP) — Massachusetts and Rhode Island lawmakers who backed the war in Iraq have written to President Bush seeking a full explanation of the administration's now-discredited allegation that Iraq was seeking to buy nuclear material from Africa.
And they questioned whether Congress can rely on any other claims Bush made about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.

"President Bush has many questions to answer about the use and misuse of intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs," said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass. "I believe that the credibility of this administration rests on the answers to the questions we have asked."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who is running for president, has also called for a full investigation into the issue. And Friday he said the "finger-pointing" within the administration will "do nothing to make this country safer and will simply further erode the confidence of the American public and our allies around the world."

The letter was signed by 16 Democrats who voted for the House resolution authorizing the war, <snip>
