Is Al Rawi Curveball?


I'm confused... In the film Al-Rawi (Ayad Futayyih Khalifa al-Rawi the General of the Iraqi Republican Guard) gave the government information that was twisted into a lie, giving the Americans an excuse to go to war...But in reality, it was false information (a lie) told by curveball (Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi) - an ex-scientist that defected to Germany.

So if this is correct, doesn't the film directly contradict itself in it's pursuit for clarity = As in film tells the audience that the US government fabricating the evidence.... But in reality they bought a story from an informant???

Whether the US government used this lie for their own advantage is another argument, as is their acceptance of this lie...But the little research I have done, leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth about the film...
