Good read...
If you read the entire interview...there are serious disconnects within the German CIA and obviously one hand doing things that the other hand is unaware of.
The comment of having US personnel there in Germany....but no ready access to “Curveball”....is the biggest indicator of things going wrong.
When you add up the value of what the Bush administration put on the “Curveball” reports....and then you subtract them...the argument of going into Iraq starts to really sink. Looking back now...this time line that the Pentagon developed.....really screwed up any real intelligence gathering or thought process. You end up watching folks make unwise decisions based on reports of no value. Our entire state of affairs today....exists because of bogus “Curveball” reports.
