Chalabi gets the most credit for selling us the Iraq war. He sold fabricated WMD stories to CBS 60 Minutes, The New York Times, the Associated Press, all the neocons, the White House, and many in Congress. But the pinnacle of his success was getting his fake bio-weapons stories [Winnebagoes of Death] into the CIA’s National Intelligence Estimate used by Congress to vote on the war, and into Powell’s speech to the UN. Later after, we installed him in the new Iraq government he was found passing top secret information to the Iranians.

Scott Ritter
Former weapons inspector, boat rocker, patriot, Ritter's view of the weapons question did not match the White House line.
"As an American citizen, I have an obligation to speak out when I feel my government is acting in a manner, which is inconsistent with the — with the principles of our founding fathers," said Ritter. "It's the most patriotic thing I can do."

Lewis Libby, Chief of Staff to Vice President Cheney
• Told two reporters that covert CIA agent Valerie Plame worked for the CIA.
• Apparently part of a White-House-based plan of retribution/intimidation.
(This was aimed at her husband, Joseph Wilson, who accurately reported Niger had not sold uranium to Saddam. When the White house ignored his report, he went public.)
• Co-wrote with Wolfowitz a draft Defense Policy Guidance which argued for unilateral and pre-emptive wars. This paved the way for Iraq war.

Rocco Martino
Italy's chief of military intelligence Thursday named Rocco Martino, an "occasional spy," as the source of the forged documents that said Saddam Hussein was trying to buy uranium from Niger. Mr. Martino has "long been suspected" of being the person responsible for "peddling" the documents. Rocco Martino was "a former intelligence agency informer who had been kicked out of the agency." Gen. Pollari did not name Martino as the forger.
