Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, was not persuaded.

"That was said repeatedly before the effort was made to go to war with Iraq," said Wyden.

Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Bush administration officials have promised -- and postponed -- a briefing for lawmakers on Iranian links to the Shiite militias blamed for attacks on U.S. troops and the country's Sunni population.

"I want the administration to deliver the full briefing that they promised, the one that's been put off time and time again now, so we can really get at the facts," he said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters Tuesday that the evidence of Iranian government involvement in Iraq was "very, very weak," adding, "If they are involved, let's see the facts."
