WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The CIA plans to give lawmakers intelligence data that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell used for a prewar U.N. presentation on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction in response to concerns those weapons haven't been found, a U.S. intelligence official said.

U.S. reinforces Fallujah
U.S. commanders are redeploying about 4,000 troops from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division from Baghdad to Fallujah -- which continues to be a stronghold of Iraqi resistance, U.S. military officials said.
Members of the division's 2nd Brigade will replace 1,200 troops that are patrolling the central Iraqi city, which is 43 miles (about 70 kilometers) west of Baghdad. Saddam Hussein sympathizers continue to stir up resistance and U.S. forces have taken fire in Fallujah. Two U.S. soldiers were killed and nine others wounded May 27 in an attack on an Army unit there.
The larger force will use its 88 tanks and 44 Bradley Fighting Vehicles to establish an increased presence on Fallujah's streets, officials said.
The move comes in response to a series of attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq in recent days.
But the war's over. Isn't it?
