Allegedly an Iraqi chemical engineer
Provided intelligence to the CIA before the 2003 Iraqi war
Allegedly defected from Iraq

Like Deep Throat, he goes by an alias.
He lied to the CIA.
He said that Iraq had biological mobile weapons laboratories to elude inspectors, but they were never found.
He did not contact the CIA directly, but his information was forwarded from German intelligence services to the CIA.
German intelligence refers to him as an 'out-of-control and crazy alcoholic.'
He was a major source for the 'hellfire and brimstone' rhetoric the Bush Administration used to go to war with Iraq.
His information was used by Colin Powell when he appeared before the UN.
An independent report exposing him as a fraud was suppressed by the Republicans until after the 2004 election.
Many believe his information was given more credibility than it deserved because it supported the Bush Administration's plan to invade Iraq.
We will never find these magnificent weapons he claimed to exist.

He picked a spy name that explains his function within the intelligence community.
He was exposed as a fraud.
