How far is Iraq cooperating with the United Nations Inspectors of Weapons of Mass Destruction?
The mainstream media never emphasizes the fact that, in 1998, the UNSCOM inspectors were not expelled from Iraq by the Iraqi government, but rather withdrew after it was revealed they had been infiltrated by US intelligence. The controversial UNSCOM has now been succeeded by the UNMOVIC. As UN Secretary General Kofi Annan affirmed, Iraq has so far shown full cooperation with UNMOVIC inspectors, granting them unfettered access to all the locations they wish to inspect, including Saddams presidential palaces.
