“On January 28, 2003, [President] Bush delivered his State of the Union address and included the following words, built on [Iraqi defector] Curveball’s claim he had been involved in creating a mobile biological weapons capability: ‘From three Iraqi defectors we know that Iraq, in the late 1990s, had several mobile biological weapons labs. These are designed to produce germ warfare agents, and can be moved from place to place to evade inspectors. Saddam Hussein has not disclosed these facilities. He’s given no evidence that he has destroyed them.’ ”
