"Last year, (David) Albright told Australia's Lateline, "I must apologize that we no longer can in any way recommend Dr. Hamza. I unfortunately now believe he is deliberately distorting both his past credentials and his statements about Iraqi nuclear capabilities then and now."

Albright said, "I believe that his statements are often inaccurate, they're inconsistent," adding, "I think he's distorted his title dramatically." Following his defection, Hamza had worked for Albright's institute for two years.

On February 26, 2003, WND revealed the contents of a UN document marked "SENSITIVE", from UNSCOM and the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, that revealed the United Nations concluded a document provided to them by Hamza was a "fake."

The UN document is a record of the de-briefing of defector Hussein Kamel, son-in-law to Saddam Hussein and previous head of the of Iraq's Military Industrialization Corporation, in charge of Iraq's weapons program. The interview was conducted in Amman on 22 August 1995, 15 days after Kamel left Iraq.

The eight-year old document also records Kamel as saying Hamza was a "professional liar" that was "so bad" he was allowed to leave Baghdad.

Testimony from other Iraqi scientists was similar. Dr. Imad Khadduri and others, previously told WorldNetDaily that Hamza had worked in the position he claimed to hold for only 6 months, and was dismissed in 1987 for inferior performance.

The position he claimed to hold, Dr. Khadduri said, was actually held by Dr. Khalid Ibrahim Said who headed up "Group 4" activities under the secret PC3 group.

According to the U.S. government, Dr. Said died in a hail of bullets after he failed to stop quickly enough at an American checkpoint in Baghdad on April 8, 2003.

An Associated Press report later raised doubts about the situation surrounding the death of Said.

Scientists and witnesses said that Khalid Ibrahim Said was killed not when he tried to "run a roadblock," as U.S. inspector David Kay had said, but when a U.S. tank crew blasted his civilian vehicle without warning on an open street.

Dr. Hamza returned to Iraq, being sent by the administration as an authoritative source to investigate the status of the Iraqi nuclear program.

Khadduri previously told WND that although Said held the position Hamza claimed to, the real prime movers of the nuclear program had been Dhafir Selbi, Jafar Dhia Jafar, and Humam Abdul Khaliq.

Ah, I see. You want to believe the U.N., and Hussein Kamel (son-in-law of Saddam Hussein, who was beheaded), but Hamza is a liar?

OK...Goodbye.
