(Senator Bob Graham) said (General Tommy Franks) told him ``his men and resources were being moved to Iraq, where he felt that our intelligence was shoddy. This admission was coming almost 14 months before the beginning of combat operations in Iraq and only five months after the commencement of combat in Afghanistan.''

Graham's book also discusses apparent financial ties of Saudi officials with two of the Sept. 11 hijackers.

Graham said the matter was discussed in a 28-page section of the committee's report on the attacks that was kept secret at the request of the White House. (AP)
