David Kay, chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq:
As we turned to the trailers, it was probably-I guess the single biggest shock I had during the entire inspection process,
because I’d been powerfully moved by Powell’s statement to the Council. Well, when we started tearing it apart,
we discovered it was not based on several sources. It was based on one source, and it was an individual [code-named Curveball]
held by German intelligence. They had denied the U.S. the right to directly interview him.
And they only passed summaries-and really not very good ones-of their interrogations with him.
The Germans had refused to pass us his name even.
