3 updates: ‘The King’s Speech,’ Pan Am Flight 103 and Moammar Gadhafi, & ‘Curveball’ and his lies about Iraq’s ‘WMDs’

Hour 2

We so enjoyed our interview with DAVID SEIDLER, who wrote the screenplay for The King’s Speech, that we decided to air it again after Seidler won an Oscar for his work Sunday night.  If you didn’t hear it the first time, you’ll want to listen.   Then we talk with BERT AMMERMAN about recent revelations regarding  Moammar Gadhafi and the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.  Ammerman’s brother Tom was one of 188 Americans killed in the attack. And finally we hear from Los Angeles Times national reporter BOB DROGIN about the admission last week by Iraqi engineer al-Janabi, whose CIA codename was Curveball, that he fabricated stories about an Iraqi arms program.  Al-Janabi’s lies were the basis of the CIA analysis of Saddam’s threat from biological weapons that Bush Administration officials cited in deciding  to the invasion of Iraq.
