60 Minutes: Curve Ball; Ivory War; Captain of Capitalism An Iraqi defector exposes secret information about mobile biological weapons and the U.S. uses this as a justification to invade Iraq. The problem is, as we all later discovered, the information wasn’t true. Bob Simon investigates and exposes the identity and more about the man known as “Curve Ball”. Scott Pelley is in Africa to find out why, with so many sanctions, laws and prohibitions, are elephants still being slaughtered for tusks. The intelligent, magnificent African elephant is endangered and poachers continue to reduce their numbers for this ivory. Finally, Lesley Stahl talks with Tom Perkins, former Hewlett-Packard director, owner of the biggest yacht (sailboat) in the world and sheds some light on why he’s so deserving of the title ‘Captain of Capitalism’. All this and Andy Rooney, tonight on 60 Minutes.
