On September 18, 2002, “Bill Murray, the CIA station chief in Paris, met with his secret source, [a] Lebanese journalist. …The WMD situation in Iraq, the journalist said, was complicated but quite different than the White House was saying. Saddam’s chemical weapons arsenal was all gone. …Saddam didn’t want responsibility for them anymore. …The supposed biological weapons program was amateurish…there was no program, no actively functioning laboratories. …Whatever Saddam’s intentions, there was no revived nuclear program as the White House had claimed.”
