Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – L.A. Times reporter and bestselling author Bob Drogin spoke Tuesday at the Clinton School about his book, “Curveball: Spies, Lies and the Con Man Who Caused a War.” Drogin told the fascinating story of “Curveball,” the name given to Rafid Ahmed Alwan, who fled the Iraq in 1999 claiming to be a former chemical engineer in Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons program. Information provided by Curveball, later proven false, was used by the Bush Administration to make the case for the Iraq War. Drogin’s speech will soon be up for viewing at www.clintonschoolspeakers.com.
