‘Curveball’ admits to WMD lies that led to war were used as pretext for war
An Iraqi defector, codenamed Curveball, who allegedly helped convince the Bush administration that Saddam Hussein had a secret stash of biological and chemical weapons, has admitted for the first time that he made it all up. Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi told The Guardian that he invented the stories to help topple Saddam Hussein, but was shocked when the US used tales as an excuse to go to war. It was just over eight years ago that US Secretary of State Colin Powell took Janabi's claims to the United Nations.
