Judith Miller
interviewed
In December 2001, Miller flew to Bangkok to interview al-Haideri, a 43-year-old Iraqi who claimed he had helped secretly bury tons of WMDs. The interview was arranged by the INC and the Rendon Group. Critically, al-Haideri had already FAILED a CIA polygraph test. When the Iraq Survey Group later took him back to Iraq, he could not identify a single weapons site. Miller's December 20, 2001 front-page story was one of the first building blocks of the media case for war.
