'45 minute to WMD' claim from a taxi driver

The story only gets worse by the day. Tony Blair and the US Republicans worked everyone into a frenzy over the "45 minutes and we could all die" story and now we see just how ridiculous it really was. How are these people not prosecuted for abusing their power and terrorizing everyone with their lies?

Today, in an interview with the Daily Mail, Holloway said the key piece of information about 45 minutes came from an Iraqi officer who was using a taxi driver as his own sub-source.

"[MI6] were running a senior Iraqi army officer who had a source of his own, a cab driver on the Iraqi-Jordanian border," said Holloway, a former Grenadier Guardsman and television journalist.

"He apparently overheard two Iraqi army officers two years before who had spoken about weapons with the range to hit targets elsewhere in the Middle East."

Holloway made his comments to coincide with the publication of a report he has written claiming that MI6 always had reservations about some of the information in the dossier but that these reservations were brushed aside when Downing Street was preparing it for publication.
