Ex-ABC Terror Consultant Faked Interviews
Admits He Made Up Interviews With Barack Obama, Bill Gates And Others

(CBS/AP) A former ABC News consultant fired last year because he could not authenticate academic credentials is at the center of a new dispute over apparently faked interviews with U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and others.

The consultant, Alexis Debat, quit the Nixon Center, a Washington think tank, on Wednesday after Obama's representatives claimed an interview with the senator appearing under Debat's byline in the French magazine Politique Internationale never took place. The interview quoted the Democratic candidate as saying the Iraq war was "a defeat for America."

Pelosi, Gates, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg all said they never gave interviews that appeared in the magazine under Debat's byline, ABC News' Web site, the Blotter, reported Thursday.

Debat acknowledged to The Associated Press on Thursday that he never conducted any of the interviews published under his byline.
