After the attack on the World Trade Centre, the CIA repeatedly asked the BND for access to him. The Germans refused. The reason, Drumheller heard from the BND, was that Curveball was an alcoholic and a fabricator. Independent checks on his supposedly witness evidence of Iraqi WMDs proved that he was lying. Drumheller’s scepticism of Curveball was not, however, shared by other parts of US intelligence.

Just another example of how this administration ignored any information that didn't support their agenda in Iraq.
