A copy of my email to ABC News. Blair also lied about this issue repeatedly. Peter Jennings Interviews Secretary of State Colin Powell "They created a set of circumstances in 1998 where the inspectors had to leave. And for five years, we didn't know what Iraq was doing." This lie is being repeated without being questioned. A few points: The inspectors left because the US/UK told the chief inspector to leave. The US/UK had put spies amongst the inspectors. The US/UK used the inspections to spy on Iraq. The US/UK launched the Desert Fox attack without UNSC approval or consideration. The US/UK used information from the inspections to try and kill SH and other officials. Faced with the undermining of UNSCOM by the US/UK, the UNSC had to create a new inspection system.
