Tyler Drumheller, former head of the CIA's European ops, is on a roll. He will soon have a book out on what he witnessed in the run-up to the Iraq War. And judging from the fawning pre-release press it’s a very good bet that his book will soon be quoted ad nauseam by Frank Rich, the editors of the New York Times, Howard Dean, the House and Senate Democratic leadership, and the rest of the anti-Bush ideologues. In late April, a 60 Minutes segment focused on Drumheller’s role in getting Naji Sabri, Iraq’s ex-foreign minister’s, to spill the beans on Saddam’s nuclear program prior to the war. But Drumheller and the producers of 60 Minutes failed to inform viewers, for example, that Sabri also said that biological research was ongoing despite Saddam’s denials and that Saddam has dispersed chemical weapons to loyal tribes (see April 24 60 Minutes of Distortion post here.) Today, the Washington Post gives Drumheller front-page coverage on his role in the Iraqi mobile biological labs controversy. Again, like 60 Minutes, he’s the hero – an image I’m sure his book won’t contradict.
