The impetus for the Commission lay with a public controversy occasioned by statements, including those of Chief of the [[Iraq Survey Group]], [[David Kay]], that the Intelligence Community had grossly erred in judging that Iraq had been developing [[weapons of mass destruction]] (WMD) before the March 2003 start of [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]]. President Bush therefore formed the Commission, but gave it a broad mandate not only to look into any errors behind the [[Iraq]] intelligence, but also to look into intelligence on WMD programs in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Libya]], as well as to examine the capabilities of the Intelligence Community to address the problem of [[nuclear proliferation|WMD proliferation]] and "related threats." However, the commission was not directed to examine the extent to which the [[Bush administration (2000)|Bush administration]] may have manipulated the intelligence.<ref>{{cite web | The impetus for the Commission lay with a public controversy occasioned by statements, including those of Chief of the [[Iraq Survey Group]], [[David Kay]], that the Intelligence Community had grossly erred in judging that Iraq had been developing [[weapons of mass destruction]] (WMD) before the March 2003 start of [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]].
