CBS' 60 Minutes is revealing the identity of the Iraqi defector known as "Curveball," whose reports of alleged mobile biological weapons labs were a cornerstone of President Bush's rationale for going to war. The program, which airs Sunday, identifies him as Rafid Ahmed Alwan, who 60 Minutes says was "not only a liar, but also a thief and a poor student instead of the chemical engineering whiz he claimed to be."
Here's an interview with the author of Curveball, Bob Drogin of the Los Angeles Times, who broke the original story.
