ArmsControlWonk | an arms control weblog: ISG Bungles Iraqi Scientist Interviews: "Obeidi claims he continued to meet, however, with Gary and the CIA. ‘From Gary’s first questions,’ Obeidi claims, ‘it was apparent he did not possess a deep knowledge of Iraqi WMD programs …’

During this process, US troops raided Obeidi’s house, dragged him off to detention and interrogated him about Saddam Hussein’s whereabouts.

Eventually, someone figured out he was already cooperating. Obeidi describes recieving an apology and a ride home. Not surprisingly, Obeidi admits to having second thoughts about cooperating with the US in the first place. Albright told Obeidi’s story to the Washington Post in October 2003."
