1: In theory only. In practice government reports are often created for the purpose of leaking them to the public to influence and shape opinion. This is obviously true in the case of this NIE, which was crafted after the decision to go to war had been made.
2: Nice statement. Except there have been many reports of CIA analysts complaining of pressure.
3: He misses the point here. Many in Congress where surprised because the 2001 NIE and the 2002 NIE where so different. To give an example the 2001 NIE said that Iraq was unlikely to test long range missles even if US sanctions where lifted and would probably develop a medium range missle if sanctions where lifted, the 2002 NIE said that Iraq had medium range missles and was doing design work on long range missles.
4: He's probably correct here. The NIE does include some divergent views and it's supposed to be a summary to begin with, so it can't include everything.
5: His second statement admits the point. Notice the claim is only that some major judgements where based on single sources, while the denial is says only that the majority where based on multiple sources.
6: I've never heard that myth before. In fact a bigger problem was US refusal to accept UN reports, even though they have turned out to be more accurate then the US NIE.
7. The caveat in the unclassified portion of the report said only that the status of the deal was unknown. Nothing about the information being weak or (as the case turned out) a rather transparent fraud.
8. May or may not be true, but his argument against it is nothing more then a personal claim it's not true.
9. He dodges this point by ignoring the fact that rapid mobilization applies to the army as a whole and thus covers a lot beyond WMDs.
10. Don't know if was in the NIE or not, but the US government was claiming to know where large stockpiles where. And by large stockpiles, the NIE was talking about thousands of gallons, not a few stray shells.

As far as I can see, this is nothing more the butt covering from somebody that botched the job.
