Saddam's FM was on CIA payroll

Tue Mar 21, 9:26 AM ET

<snip>
Iraq's foreign minister under Saddam Hussein spied for the CIA before the US-led invasion in 2003 in return for a 100,000 dollar payment, a US television station reported.

In September 2002, Iraq's top diplomat Naji Sabri traded information on Hussein's alleged weapons program for cash in a French-sponsored New York City hotel room meeting, NBC reported, citing intelligence sources.

US intelligence agents believe Sabri was fully aware he was selling information to the CIA, it said.

During the cloak-and-dagger meeting, Sabri told the CIA's middleman that Saddam possessed chemical weapons and wanted a nuclear bomb but needed much more time to build one than the CIA estimate of several months to a year.

1. Despite having Sabri's reports the VP repeated Saddam has Nukes

at every turn. Sabri told us (via French Intelligence) that Saddam had no Nukes, no Biologicals but that he had Chemical agents from GW1.

In my opinion this newstory is second only to the Downing Street Minutes as smoking guns proving the march to war was based on lies.

2. The evidence is overwhelming - impeachment should be a given
