NBC wants everyone to think that this confirms there was no WMD and the CIA knew it but this actually confirms the opposite. He says there was no "significant" program but there was a program none the less. Saddam was years from acquiring a weapon but that pretty much verifies he had the desire. He then claimed there was "stockpiles" of weapons but turned out to be wrong. I think this could be considered high level verification so who cares if our intelligence was wrong.

First: "Sabri may have thought he was working with the French, but some U.S. intelligence officials believe he knew it was the CIA, NBC said."

Then, it goes on to say: " According to the intelligence sources, Sabri indicated that Saddam had no significant weapons program and that while the deposed Iraqi leader desperately wanted a nuclear bomb it would have taken more time for him to build one than the CIA's several-months-to-a-year estimate, NBC reported. "

Maybe he's down playing it a little?, Taking the cash and lacing lies with a sprinkle of truth? But then:

" Citing intelligence sources, NBC said the CIA's brief relations with Sabri ended after he refused to defect to the United States. The agency had been hoping for a public relations coup, the network said. "

A falling out perhaps? But strangest of all:

" Sabri was not named among the former senior Iraqi officials on the U.S. most-wanted list of 55 Iraqi fugitives.

Maybe he is still performing services for the CIA?
