Better known as Curveball, the Iraqi defector who lied about WMD has admitted it to the Guardian:
“I had a problem with the Saddam regime,” he said. “I wanted to get rid of him and now I had this chance.”
He portrays the BND as gullible and so eager to tease details from him that they gave him a Perry’s Chemical Engineering Handbook to help communicate. He still has the book in his small, rented flat in Karlsruhe, south-west Germany.
“They were asking me about pumps for filtration, how to make detergent after the reaction,” he said. “Any engineer who studied in this field can explain or answer any question they asked.”
Asked about the 100,000 dead Iraqis, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi was as blasé as Bush and Cheney.
