The intelligence source codenamed "Curveball" has admitted that he fabricated stories about Saddam Hussein having Weapons of Mass Destruction. He wanted to see Saddam toppled and he thought the lie would cause someone to invade and take him out.
We can all argue about how smart or stupid it was to invade Iraq like that…and I assume that if they hadn't had this man's "intelligence," the Bush administration would have invaded anyway. What I want to know is why anyone believed someone named "Curveball."
