"Remember Mahdi Obeidi?

"He's the Iraqi nuclear scientist who made headlines back
in June when he turned over parts of a gas centrifuge for uranium enrichment and
blueprints related to Iraq's pre-1991 nuclear weapons program. The parts of course
were buried under a rosebush in his backyard.

More recently, Obeidi made more embarrassing headlines when the Associated Press
revealed that he has consistently told CIA investigators that those much-discussed
aluminum tubes had nothing to do with nuclear weapons development.

The AP reported that Obeidi was in Kuwait. But it turns out there's a bit more to the
story. Given that Obeidi was so quick to come clean about the history of Iraq's
nuclear weapons program and Saddam's plans to reconstitute the program once
sanctions were lifted, you might think that we were helping him restart his life in the
US, Iraq or perhaps some other Arab country.

Well, not exactly."
