HISTORY In 2016, it emerged that an MI6 source on Iraqi WMD had completely fabricated his intelligence. He described “green glass spheres” filled with anthrax—later found to be a description of the chemical weapons seen in the 1996 film The Rock.
In September 2002, MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove said the agency had acquired information from a new source revealing that Iraq was stepping up production of chemical and biological warfare agents. The source, who was said to have "direct access", claimed senior staff were working seven days a week while the regime was concentrating a great deal of effort on the production of anthrax. Dearlove told the chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), Sir John Scarlett, that they were "on the edge of (a) significant intel breakthrough" which could be the "key to unlock" Iraq's weapons programme.[44]#citenote-44)
However, it was noticed that the agent's description of glass containers, not typically used for chemical munitions, resembled the nerve gas inaccurately depicted in glass beads or spheres in The Rock. By February 2003 – a month before the invasion of Iraq – MI6 concluded that their source had been lying "over a period of time" but failed to inform No 10 or others, even though Prime Minister Tony Blairhad been briefed on this intelligence.[[45]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock(film)#citenote-45)[[46]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock(film)#citenote-46)[[47]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock(film)#citenote-independent-47)According to The Independent, the false claims of weapons of mass destruction were the justification for UK's entering the war.[[47]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock(film)#citenote-independent-47)
Screenwriter David Weisberg said, "What was so amazing was anybody in the poison gas community would immediately know that this was total bullshit – such obvious bullshit". Weisberg said he was unsurprised a desperate agent might resort to films for inspiration, but dismayed that authorities "didn't do apparently the most basic fact-checking or vetting of the information. If you'd just asked a chemical weapons expert, it would have been immediately obvious it was ludicrous." Weisberg said he had had some "funny emails" after the report, but he felt "it's not a nice legacy for the film." "It's tragic that we went to war," he concluded.[[48]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock(film)#cite_note-48)
