Mahdi Obeidi

Mahdi Obeidi was once a high-ranking Iraqi nuclear scientist. Hidden in his backyard were parts to what the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed were a gas centrifuge for use in enriching uranium. Now Odeidi says the components were actually for rockets. Yeah, like all nuclear scientists keep rocket parts in their back yards. I am sure there is no one out there gullible enough to believe that.

Senior Pentagon Middle East specialist, Air Force Lt Col Karen -

"What I saw was aberrant, pervasive and contrary to good order and discipline," Kwiatkowski wrote. "If one is seeking the answers to why peculiar bits of 'intelligence' found sanctity in a presidential speech, or why the post-Saddam [Hussein] occupation [of Iraq] has been distinguished by confusion and false steps, one need look no further than the process inside the Office of the Secretary of Defense [OSD]."

Kwiatkowski went on to charge that the operations she witnessed during her tenure in Feith's office, and particularly those of an ad hoc group known as the Office of Special Plans (OSP), constituted "a subversion of constitutional limits on executive power and a co-option through deceit of a large segment of the Congress". - Knight Ridder

Think about it ?

You are a little mixed up. Obeidi never changed his story. It was the aluminum tubes the Iraqi governement purchased, and which the Bush administration insists were for a new centrifuge, that Obeidi says were actually intended for rockets. He wasn't talking about the centrifuge in his back yard.

From the Wash Post:

The White House, for instance, has cited the case of nuclear scientist Mahdi Obeidi, who recently dug up plans and components for a gas centrifuge he said he buried in 1991 at the end of the Persian Gulf War. The White House has pointed to the discovery as a sign of Saddam's continuing nuclear ambitions, but Obeidi told his interrogators that Iraq's nuclear program was dormant in the years before war began this March.

The sources said Obeidi also disputed evidence cited by the administration -- namely Iraq's purchase of aluminum tubes that various officials said were for a new centrifuge program to enrich uranium for nuclear bombs. Obeidi said the tubes were for rockets, as Iraq had claimed before the war.
