Secrets For Cash

Naji Sabri, foreign minister to Saddam Hussein pre invasion, reportedly told Western intelligence agencies before the 2003 invasion that Iraq had no active weapons programs, but that it was stockpiling chemical weapons from the Iran-Iraq war.

Sabri was allegedly paid $100K, via a third party, to pass the information on to French intelligence, which shared it with the CIA.

After the invasion Sabri called Britain and the U.S. "outlaws", and accused the coalition of exploiting Iraq for its natural resources.
