Dear all Although this question of whether the inspectors left or were expelled is important, it is much more important to assert, and preferably to prove, that the Iraqis HAD complied with the inspections to a very great extent over seven or eight years; and that by the end of that time it had become crystal clear that a) the US intended to prolong the inspections and therefore sanctions so long as Saddam Hussein was in power and b) that the inspectors were acting as spies for the US and reporting back to the US authorities. This case was widely accepted back in 1998 but has since been dropped out of sight. But what good sources are there for it? Obviously Scott Ritter's book, but I've never seen it. Anything else? Does anyone know of a good account of the inspections scam written from an anti-UNSCOM viewpoint? Best wishes Peter ---------- From: "g c" <jensen2@cafe-uni.com> To: soc-casi-discuss@lists.cam.ac.uk Subject: [casi] (no subject) Date: Fri, Mar 8, 2002, 8:30 pm The usual statement of the Iraq expulsion of the inspectors was repeated yet again on Any Questions last night by Ben Bradshaw. I rang the Beeb to say that the inspectors were withdrawn by UNSCOM and he asked if I could give any documentation to verify this . Can anyone give me the appropriate URL or anything offiical to support this ?
