If you read the reports it continues and is based on foreign intelligence services, detainees, and Humint. No, pretty much the whole thing was based on Chalabi's minions, in particular "Curveball". The CIA didn't even want to write a report. Even teh foreign intelligence was just Wolfowitz passing on the curveball reports and then acting like it was something new when it was mentioned in their information dumps. Five top German intelligence officers say that the Bush administration and the CIA repeatedly ignored warnings about the veracity of the information that an Iraqi informant named 'Curveball' was giving about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. The Los Angeles Times, in a massive report published Sunday, reports that "the Bush administration and the CIA repeatedly exaggerated his claims during the run-up to the war in Iraq." csmonitor.com The Times report also says that the White House ignored evidence presented by the United Nations that showed that Curveball was wrong, and that the CIA " punished in-house critics who provided proof that he had lied and [the CIA] refused to admit error until May 2004, 14 months after the invasion."
