Gordon Prather: What do you mean 'we' were all wrong?
Iraqi defector Khidir Hamza was a known liar, yet the CIA allowed him to mislead Congress about Iraq's nuclear program. Gordon Prather exposes this sham in his concise commentary.

Physicist James Gordon Prather has served as a policy implementing official for national security-related technical matters in the Federal Energy Agency, the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Department of Energy, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Department of the Army. Dr. Prather also served as legislative assistant for national security affairs to U.S. Sen. Henry Bellmon, R-Okla. -- ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee and member of the Senate Energy Committee and Appropriations Committee. Dr. Prather had earlier worked as a nuclear weapons physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico.

What do you mean 'we' we are wrong?
March 20, 2004 WorldNetDaily

Well, you may remember David Kay's congressional testimony in the months leading up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Khidir Hamza frequently appeared with Kay.

You remember Hamza, don't you? The "defector" who claimed to have been in charge of the Iraqi nuke program? The author of "Saddam's Bombmaker"?

Hamza was also a sidekick of Richard Perle – then chairman of the Defense Policy Board – who vouched for Hamza's authenticity to congressional and administration pooh-bahs.

The Hamza-Kay-Perle testimony was that the Iraqis were secretly reconstituting the nuke program the IAEA had reported totally destroyed. Iraq would have several nukes in a matter of months, not years, and would likely give them to terrorists. The only way to prevent you soccer moms from getting nuked in your jammies was an immediate pre-emptive invasion of Iraq by the United States.

1. Ah yes, WorldNetDaily...
Even though WorldNetDaily.com is a "right-wing" site, it actually does have some interesting things to say from time to time. Its writers and articles span the entire spectrum of the broad umbrella of the "right," and they include a number of libertarians, constitutionalists and paleocons who don't necessarily toe the GOP party line like FreeRepublic and Faux News do.
