Was this the Iraqi version of “Heisenberg’s War”?

A couple of years back, author Thomas Powers wrote a book called “Heisenberg’s War” where he submitted that German physicist Werner Heisenberg actively hindered the German atom bomb program he was working on at the time. Is it possible, as some have proposed, that Iraqi scientists told Saddam Hussein that the WMD program was going well when in fact there was no active program? As a minimum, it would explain 1.) why there are no large stockpiles of WMDs found (yet) and 2.) why Hussein acted as if there were.

Boston Globe: “Kay also speculated that Iraqi scientists may have lied to Hussein, pretending such weapons were being produced, legislators said.”

Something to think about…..
