Curveball: Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi Admits to Fabricating WMD Claims that Led to Iraq War

Did you see CPAC this weekend? Donald Rumsfeld won some award for being a friend to the Constitution. What a joke! Our founding fathers would never approve of this imperial attitude the United States has developed using its military strength. Now there is more proof the weapons of mass destruction claims made by the Bush administration to invade Iraq were fabricated.

From the Guardian:

The defector who convinced the White House that Iraq had a secret biological weapons programme has admitted for the first time that he lied about his story, then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war.

Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, codenamed Curveball by German and American intelligence officials who dealt with his claims, has told the Guardian that he fabricated tales of mobile bioweapons trucks and clandestine factories in an attempt to bring down the Saddam Hussein regime, from which he had fled in 1995.
