"We did our best to push the scientists," Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, the chief Iraqi liaison officer to the U.N. inspection teams, said Thursday. "But they refused to make such interviews without the presence of (Iraqi) officials." Ahem.
I don't think we need to talk to scientists, or have any inspections at all. Iraq said they would form their own teams to search for weapons. Problem solved.
