Secrets and Lies : Feb. interview with WMD spy Rod Barton now online

[velvet]

I posted a link to a transcript of this when it was screened in Australia last month. Now it's viewable online ...

"Four Corners presents an online edition of "Secrets and Lies" first broadcast on 14 February 2005, where Rod Barton makes public his decision to speak out about the disturbing political forces at play behind the UN’s search for Iraq’s WMD."

1. This is utterly amazing!

Thank you so much for posting this!

At last we get to hear from a first-hand source some of what when on during the wmd searches. It's quite revealing about how the searchers/report writers were required to slant the report, influence of the CIA bias in the report, what happened to some of the wmds and treatment of the former Iraq scientists in prison.

It's disgraceful to think that we would never see such an honest and open conversation about the wmd searches on US tv.
