Sorry for posting this again... The name had Swedish characters which can not be read... Dear List, I just heard from a friend that Ake Sallstrom, a Swedish former inspector with UNSCOM has said on a Swedish TV program that during the inspections, spying took place. One member of the team took unnecessarily too many photocopies of documents, that other members had to ask him to slow down… Sallstrom is also reported to have said that some members of UNSCOM visited embassies of their countries at night, a thing which, in principle, was not supposed to happen. It was not only the Americans who did that, but others too. Sallstrom said that inspectors were recruited from the intelligence services of different countries, like the CIA. The information gathered was supposed to remain with the inspectors, but with the system as it were, no one could guarantee that. Sallstrom said that this issue (spying) became very clear when some sites were bombed a week after their visit to them.. Does anyone please have the full transcript of that interview?
