		Kamel's defection has been cited repeatedly by George W. Bush and leading administration officials as evidence that 1) Iraq has not disarmed; 2) inspections cannot disarm it; and 3) defectors such as Kamel are the most reliable source of information on Iraq's weapons.
		This transcript reveals that the otherwise trustworthy Hussein Kamel said that all weapons: biological, chemical, missile and nuclear, were destroyed in 1991 under his supervision.
		Kamel explained that the weapons were destroyed secretly, in order to hide their existence from inspectors, in the hopes of someday resuming production after inspections had finished.

	The interview with Hussein Kamel
		Hussein Kamel, the former director of Iraq's Military Industrialization Corporation, in charge of Iraq's weapons programme, defected to Jordan on the night of 7 August 1995, together with his brother Col. Saddam Kamel.
		Kamel's defection has been cited repeatedly by President Bush and leading officials in both the UK and US as evidence that (1) Iraq has not disarmed; (2) inspections cannot disarm it; and (3) defectors such as Kamel are the most reliable source of information on Iraq's weapons.
		Kamel's statement casts into new light the claims made by the Iraqi government that it destroyed its non-conventional weapons in the period immediately after the end of the Gulf War.

	Hussein's kin aiding insurgency, officials say \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		In addition to being Hussein's cousin, he was a brother-in-law of Hussein's son Qusai and is a nephew of Ali Hasan al-Majid, the general who became known as "Chemical Ali" for gassing thousands of Kurds in the 1980s.
		Hussein Kamel and a brother who also had fled returned to Iraq in 1996 and were killed there, leaving Izzadin al-Majid in control of a large portion of the family's assets, the U.S. officials said.
		He married Hussein's daughter, Raghad, in 1985, and by the mid-1990s he was seen as the second-most-powerful figure in Iraq, having been put in charge of Iraq's reconstruction after the 1991 Persian Gulf War and of the country's illicit weapons programs.

	Hussein Kamel - The Defector's Secrets, by John Berry, 2/24/03
		Hussein Kamel, the highest-ranking Iraqi official ever to defect from Saddam Hussein's inner circle, told CIA and British intelligence officers and U.N. inspectors in the summer of 1995 that after the gulf war, Iraq destroyed all its chemical and biological weapons stocks and the missiles to deliver them.
		KAMEL WAS SADDAM Hussein's son-in-law and had direct knowledge of what he claimed: for 10 years he had run Iraq's nuclear, chemical, biological and missile programs.
		Kamel was a manager -- not a scientist or engineer -- and, sources say, some of his technical assertions were later found to be faulty.

		Hussein Kamel's defection tells UNSCOM that not only have they been missing something, but they've been missing a huge, huge amount of what they were supposed to be finding.
		Their worst nightmare scenario was eclipsed by the documents on this chicken farm, and it meant the beginning of a major new phase of biological, missile, chemical, and nuclear investigations.
		But, secondly, Saddam Hussein knew that he was about to be caught, and so he took weapons inspectors down to Kamel's chicken farm, and said that they'd only just discovered these containers full of documents about weapons of mass destruction.

	Where did all the weapons Go? Before the war, media overlooked a key story
		A son-in-law of Saddam Hussein, his 1995 departure from Iraq carrying crate-loads of secret documents on Iraq's past weapons programs was a major turning point in the inspections saga.
		In Washington officialdom, Kamel's story quickly became a talking point in the Clinton administration's efforts to prove that Saddam Hussein's government was still hiding massive amounts of banned weaponry.
		Indeed, Kamel's 1995 claim about the secret destruction of weapons would have been "absurd" if it had referred to weapons destroyed by the U.N. in the early 1990s, since it was Kamel himself, as head of Iraq's weapons industries, who had originally handed them over to the very organization that later took his testimony.

	The Defector’s Secrets
		Kamel was interrogated in separate sessions by the CIA, Britain’s M.I.6 and a trio from the United Nations, led by the inspection team’s head, Rolf Ekeus.
		Kamel was a manager—not a scientist or engineer—and, sources say, some of his technical assertions were later found to be faulty.
		This aide backed Kamel’s assertions about the destruction of WMD stocks.) But, overall, Kamel’s information was “almost embarrass-ing, it was so extensive,” Ekeus recalled—including the fact that Ekeus’s own Arabic translator, a Syrian, was, according to Kamel, an Iraqi agent who had been reporting to Kamel himself all along.

	Traprock Peace Center
		Hussein Kamel, the former head of Iraq's weapons programmes whose 1995 defection has been portrayed by the US and Britain as evidence of Iraqi deceit and the futility of inspections, was a "consummate liar", according to the last weapons inspector to interrogate him.
		Kamel, who had been the director of Iraq's military industrial establishment, was assassinated soon after his mysterious decision to return to Iraq just weeks after his high-profile defection.
		The notes from Kamel's interview, which were obtained by Cambridge University lecturer Glen Rangwala and first reported this week in Newsweek, suggest that Bush may have overstated Kamel's importance in leading U.N. inspectors to the trail of tens of thousands of liters of anthrax and tons of VX nerve agent.

		Meanwhile, Kamel has confirmed to inspectors that a crash program did indeed exist, and that this piece of information was the last significant omission about Iraqi nuclear activities.

	Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR)
		Until now, Gen. Hussein Kamel, who was killed shortly after returning to Iraq in 1996, was best known for his role in exposing Iraq's deceptions about how far its pre-Gulf War biological weapons programs had advanced.
		A son-in-law of Saddam Hussein, his departure from Iraq carrying crates of secret documents on Iraq's past weapons programs was a major turning point in the inspections saga.
		The Kamel story is a bombshell that necessitates a thorough reevaluation of U.S. media reporting on Iraq, much of which has taken for granted that the nation retains supplies of prohibited weapons.

		Regarding your point about the information Hussein Kamel provided after his defection, my understanding is that, as you say, he in fact did not provide much useful information to American agents who debriefed him in Jordan.
		With regard to the reason Hussein Kamel and his brother returned to Iraq with their families, much of what we know is second-hand as I have not talked to anyone who was privy to the discussions between Saddam and Hussein Kamel.
		Also, Hussein Kamel must have known at the outset that his defection placed his extended family inside Iraq in extreme danger, as the regime often punished the families of those who betrayed Saddam.

	Missing From ABC's WMD "Scoop"
		ABC emphasized the excerpts of a conversation between Saddam Hussein and his weapons chief (and son-in-law) Hussein Kamel that seem to bolster the idea that Iraq was hiding weapons from inspectors.
		Hussein Kamel was lured back to Iraq in 1996, where he was almost immediately killed by Saddam Hussein's forces.
		It published Kamel's key statement from that transcript: "All weapons—biological, chemical, missile, nuclear—were destroyed." Newsweek reported that Kamel told the same story to the CIA, but his account had been "hushed up." Shortly thereafter, the complete transcript of Kamel's discussions with inspectors was made public by Cambridge University's Glen Rangwala.
