LA Times published a lengthy report on how the US "fell under the spell" of an Iraqi spy and German intel. The code name "Curveball" is so accurate, as that's what this report is – a curveball. "Curveball" is the source of phony intel regarding Iraq mobile biolabs. The young Iraqi genius chemical engineer turned con man of average IQ has been in the care and handling of German intel since 1998. Or so we're told.

This most current article claims German authorities are speaking about the case for the first time, and say their informant suffered from emotional and mental problems. "He is not a stable, psychologically stable guy," said a BND (German intel) official who supervised Curveball's case. "He is not a completely normal person," agreed a BND analyst.

A horde of intel agents from 4 countries and the UN are now speaking out, unidentified of course as they're bound by secrecy agreements and classified info, you know the drill. A senior BND officer who supervised Curveball said he was aghast when he watched Powell misstate Curveball's claims as a justification for war.

Former aghast spy handlers and spies are doing a tell all. He said/he said with sudden amazing return of memory on who said what, when, where and who absolutely told him, them, and that agency. There's a talking point for whatever side you're on. Just twist to fit, one lie fits all.

According to this info from April 2004 der Spiegel BND was the hot air behind the biolab intelligence. In 1998 the young chemist Curveball entered Germany seeking asylum, stating he'd been the best in his class and recruited by Saddam for biolab projects.

After months of questioning his stories of mobile labs seemed plausible, as he had survived the intense BND questioning without contradicting himself. In this article Curveball is alleged to be the relative of someone connected to Chalabi and perhaps even sent by Chalabi to feed the Germans information about the weapons of horror of Saddam. Sent by Chalabi in 1998 – long-term plotting heh?

Passing information on to DIA and CIA the German authorities refused CIA access to "Curveball" until 2004. German authorities, opponents to the war, refused access knowing the US was beating the war drum? What's wrong with this picture.

It now appears Curveball was in prison in Iraq for embezzlement, and other crimes, and was the worst in his class. Can you believe this young man for years conned the successors of Reinhard Gehlen and Allen Dulles?

One problem I have with this saga is the Germans refusing CIA access. After WWII the US globocop rebuilt West Germany, Japan, etc. and as it does after any victory – placed a puppet dependent government beholden to the US. Yes, Germans could elect leaders, make trade, handle their masses, in line with the US, but Germany became part of the Anglo-US controlled empire. Maybe whiter with more middle class, but little different than the Latin American and African puppet leaders controlled by the Big US Pocket. A government in the pocket as surely as the newer and numerous "Ameri-stan" aided and armed countries. To the victors. The "old Europe" Rumsfeld spoke of is code for uppity European political leaders thinking they're free when they were annexed to the empire around 1945.

The idea of German intel refusing CIA access to "Curveball" is ludicrous. Is this supposed to be more proof that the Bush administration tampered with pre-war intel or proof the world's intel agencies are incompetent and easily duped, thus no one is directly responsible for mass murder this time? Is this to convince hardcore Bushites their hero was under the spell of Curveball and those scary cherry picking WHIG cabalists? I'm not certain yet where this is meant to lead we the people but this is a MSM spitball with lots of spin on it.
