HUTCHINSON, Kansas, September 6, 2008-The Iraq war was a big topic of conversation during the first debate between Jim Slattery and Pat Roberts Saturday.

As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Slattery believes Roberts should have known the intelligence used to invade Iraq was wrong.

Roberts countered that the whole world believed the intelligence was accurate, and that once that was deemed not to be the case, his committee let the truth be known.

The two will square of in two more debates before the November election.
