"The CIA admitted it didn't provide the U.N. with information about 21 of 105 sites in Iraq singled out by U.S. intelligence before the war as highly suspected of housing illegal weapons, The New York Times reported in its Saturday edition.

The acknowledgement, in a Jan. 20 letter to Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., contradicts statements before the war by both CIA Director George Tenet and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, the Times said.

Tenet and Rice said the U.S. had briefed U.N. inspectors on all of the sites identified as "high value and moderate value" in the weapons hunt, the Times reported.

The statments came amid Congressional debate about giving U.N. inspectors more time to complete their search before the invasion, and helped bolster the White House case that it was fully cooperating with the inspectors and providing them with the best possible information."
