On December 17, 2001, “The results of a CIA-administered polygraph determine that Adnan Ihsan Saeed al-Haideri, a civil engineer who claimed to have helped Saddam’s men secretly bury tons of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, was lying. Al-Haideri claimed the weapons were buried in subterranean wells, hidden in private villas, and stashed beneath the Saddam Hussein Hospital, the largest medical facility in Baghdad. Days later, [Iraqi National Congress] leader Ahmad Chalabi arranges for Judith Miller of The New York Times to interview al-Haideri in a Bangkok [Thailand] hotel room under the supervision of the Iraqi National Congress.”
