U.S. Suspects It Received False Iraq Arms Tips

HeadlineAug 28, 2003

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that U.S. intelligence agents have a new theory on what happened to the alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Some officials believe that Saddam Hussein didn’t have any banned weapons but created the illusion that he had them. The theory says that Hussein sent bogus Iraqi defectors out of Iraq to plant disinformation about the weapons program to mislead the U.S. The Los Angeles Times reports the U.S. is now re-interviewing all former Iraqi defectors who provided intelligence before the war.
