IAEA Discredited "Curveball" in February 2003: "The Washington Post notices that the WMD Commission reveals that IAEA inspections in February 2003 discredited ‘Curveball’—the defector whose claims about mobile bio-weapons made a liar out of Colin Powell"

...

"Turns out—if you read the footnotes—the IAEA visited the facility in question and discredited Curveball’s description"

...

"The Post then alludes to the incongruity of Bush Administration efforts to oust IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei and shut down UNMOVIC.

No word yet on whether the President plans to give Curveball the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
