Hi Neocon: Here's the complete SPIEGEL ref in english. spiegel.de The two paragraphs I pulled & translated out of the first ref, read like this now: As a result, the Schröder administration now finds itself accused of having misled Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag. BND Director August Hanning has testified in a closed session before the members of the foreign policy committee on two occasions – on November 13, 2002 and February 12, 2003. In both sessions, the panel was interested in Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and the alleged mobile weapons laboratories played a central role in both cases. ... Pflüger feels deceived by the concealment of this detail, but also by the fact that the informant's connection to Chalabi was not mentioned. "It would have been absolutely necessary to at least tell us that there was only one source, and one of dubious value at that." It's an accusation that the administration refuses to accept, claiming that it only became aware of these close connections to the exiled opposition party after the war.
