digforgold196, your article is an excellent reminder of how our government can lie to us.
Although German intelligence officials warned the CIA that Curveball's claims of mobile bioweapons labs were unreliable, and U.N. inspectors determined before the war began in 2003 that parts of his story were false, the Bush administration continued to promote the existence of such mobile labs for months after the invasion, until it was widely accepted that they could not be found.
These are two of what I consider must-see videos on the subject:
The Whole Truth About The Iraq War
Robert Greenwald - 87 minutes: Windows Media
An impressive roster of experts is assembled to provide a generally withering commentary on the quality of evidence and possible motivations of the Neo-conservatives who provided the momentum and muscle behind America's venture into preemptive war. Among them are veteran CIA analysts and operatives, military officers, diplomats, politicians, arms inspectors, and U.S. and British government officials. The fig leaf of the possibility of an honest mistake on the matter of WMDs is stripped away; what is left is the stark and disturbing anatomy of deliberate deceit. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6423.htm
However, former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who was opposed to the war in Iraq, says he wants to see more details of what the group has found.
He says the group's findings do not support President Bush's case for war - that Iraq presented a threat.
Mr Ritter says between 90 to 95 percent of WMDs had been accounted for by the United Nations.
He says it is not know what happened to the other five percent, however he says there is yet to be evidence to prove Iraq posed a present threat:
"We know we had no information that suggested it was still in existence."
