AlterNet: War on Iraq: Who Forged the Niger Documents?: "Well, in this case, the Germans had told the CIA's head of the European desk on the operations side, Tyler Drumheller, who I spoke to, but he wasn't comfortable going on the radio. He was told by Curveball's handlers in Germany that the guy was crazy and a fabricator and the real question, I guess, is he passed this information on to the top people inside the agency, the Deputy Director McLaughlin and the Director George Tenet, both of whom are now - well, I don't know about McLaughlin. He works for CNN. But, I believe George Tenet says he doesn't remember the conversation."
