"Curveball" throws another curve

Moslems are so adept at taqiyya.
Q: What are Westerners adept at ?
A: Being A+ suckers.

An Iraqi defector code-named "Curveball", whose statements convinced the CIA and the Bush administration that Iraq had secret biological weapons, has admitted for the first time that he lied.

Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, who fled Iraq in 1995, confessed that he made up the stories of mobile bio-weapons trucks and clandestine factories in an attempt to bring down Saddam Hussein's regime.

The defector said in an interview that he watched in horror as his claims were lapped up by the Bush administration and used to justify the invasion of the country in 2003.

"Maybe I was right, maybe I was not right," Mr Janabi said. "They gave me this chance. I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime. I and my sons are proud of that and we are proud that we were the reason to give Iraq the margin of democracy."...........
