"Secret source of phony Iraq intel outed"

"WASHINGTON - The Iraqi defector code-named "Curveball," whose false tales of biological weapons labs bolstered the U.S. case for war, wasn't the prominent chemical engineer he claimed to be and invented stories to help his case for asylum in Germany, a new report says."

I know CBS in general, 60 Minutes in particular, isn't a very reputable source for unbiased, truthful journalism...but, if this bastion of leftist propaganda has decided just maybe President Bush didn't lie and thus nobody died, this story has some merit.

I would rather suffer the consequences of a Conservative?s error, than suffer the consequences of a Socialist's intent.

Huh?

From you're own link:

Quote

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.
