Paul William Moran was a freelance photojournalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and also worked for the Rendon Group.[1][2]

Iraqi WMDs

Paul Moran’s televised interview with al-Haideri in December 2001, a defector who claimed he'd worked at illegal chemical, biological and nuclear facilities around Baghdad[3], and the revelations made about WMD—aired initially by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), another of Moran’s regular employers-was picked up by the world's media, and along with Judith Miller’s front page article in the New York Times, paved the way for Bush’s famous 'axis of evil' speech at his State of the Union address in January 2002.
