Breaking - Man whose WMD lies led to Iraq war confesses all!
A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq – starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds – will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow.

"Curveball", the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi's lies used to justify the Iraq war.

He tries to defend his actions: "My main purpose was to topple the tyrant in Iraq because the longer this dictator remains in power, the more the Iraqi people will suffer from this regime's oppression."

The chemical engineer claimed to have overseen the building of a mobile biological laboratory when he sought political asylum in Germany in 1999. His lies were presented as "facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence" by Colin Powell, US Secretary of State, when making the case for war at the UN Security Council in February 2003.

But Mr Janabi, speaking in a two-part series, Modern Spies, starting tomorrow on BBC2, says none of it was true. When it is put to him "we went to war in Iraq on a lie. And that lie was your lie", he simply replies: "Yes."

This man is a true hero. He helped topple an insane regime that gassed, raped, mass murdered his own people and had them living in constant fear, and replaced it with a free democratic society. He's a s genius with true foresight and the best intentions for his fellow countrymen in his heart.

upwards of a million people, probably closer to 2 million have died in america's war on Terra,
a generation of americans have been turned into murderous thugs who follow pyschopathic orders, who when they return home are damaged so bad they sometimes kill themselves or loved ones, or sometimes even before they home they kill themselves.
America's (Fatherland)Homeland security is an East German's secret police wet dream wher everyone is presumed guilty.
I cannot disagree more with the quoted AC, i really can't.

The fault lies with the U.S government, who knew that Curveball was unreliable and a dud in terms of actionable in tell. He was a profiteer, and he took the State Department for millions.

They all did, because the regime in charge during those years was willing to pay people to lie so long as it furthered their agenda.
